Browse A Zine of Collective Care >
A Zine of Collective Care evolved from a need to take pause and rest for East and Southeast Asian communities during the hostile and racialised pandemic of 2020. With many families, communities, support networks and individuals physically isolated, the digital space became a refuge of coming together.
These conditions and desires to come together gave rise to a series of creative digital zine making workshops that invited communities and individuals of ESEA heritages and affinities to make together, craft recipes, manifest affirmations and form embodied narratives around material objects.
These zine making workshops became a digital haven where we could rest and digest on a Sunday evening. These zine workshops became a space to inscribe our embodied experiences; to be tellers, receivers and makers of our own stories.
