Read All About It: Feminist & Queer Newsletters at the Feminist Library
With Sticky Fingers Publishing and the CHASE Feminist Network
This workshop explored Feminist Library’s collection of feminist & queer newsletters, putting a focus on the role that design and production plays in community publishing. As a group we spoke about how these histories relate to contemporary print practices, and copied, cut and pasted our own collectively produced newsletter based on the libraries source material.
Key questions will explored were:
- How can sustaining a regular, serialised print output support collective organising?
- How does community and self publishing produce alternative visual cultures of resistance?
- What does it mean to work in this lineage within a post-digital context?
