Zine Research – Ruoxi

The first zine I want to discuss is called “Beautiful Book” by Miyako Akai. It has a simple goal rather than a radical political view: to let everyone enjoy the beauty of pentagons.

Week 7: Zine Research

Homeroom This is a tiny thread binding zine made by @JAYESOSA. The zine describes a person returning to a childhood home and finding stillness and inspiration from its familiarity.
