Women's Day & Artificial Womb Zine

For international Women's Day there was a fair and talk from Kate Evans - who has done a graphic novel of Rosa Luxemburg's life (Red Rosa: A Graphic Biography of Rosa Luxemburg) down at Leeds Museum. The talk itself was interesting as the writer / artist had really become totally enthralled with the subject matter - it emphasized how much knowing about and enjoying the project is important in the process of creating.

 

While I was looking around the stalls I mentioned I was an Illustration student to a group who make a Zine called 'Artificial Womb' (https://artificialwombzine.com/). Creatives can submit their work each month, there is a theme per month and  the artists are paid for their contribution if it gets in. I have not had the chance to submit anything yet but I would really like to look into it more and perhaps make a project out of it for extended practice - as it will be good to communicate my thoughts on issues and make some more meaningful work.
