A "zine" is a home-made magazine that empowers people who don't necessarily have access to or a voice in traditional news media to share their thoughts, opinions, and artwork with the world. All it takes is some creativity and a copy machine!This fall our two GirlsEyeView groups are collaborating to create a two-volume zine. These pictures show the Amherst group hard at work making collages about themselves for the first volume of the zine. The second volume will tackle issues that are important to the girls - they've been hard at work taking photos, writing stories and poems, and interviewing their friends and family.
Today the Amherst group will finish up their personal pages and send them over to the group in Ware. A batch of finished pages from Ware will come back to the Amherst group the week after winter vacation. Each group will gain ideas and inspiration from seeing the other group's artwork, and the zine will come together as a cohesive unit.Stay tuned for images of the pages in process in the coming weeks!
