RISD FEMINISTS
ZINE 01 and 02
Zine 01 I created and produced during my first year as active President of RISD Feminists.
Intersectional Feminism was born out of the racism and of the Women’s Movement and the sexism of the Civil Rights Movement. The exclusionary nature of these movements brought forth the realization that discrimination does not occur in isolation. Prejudice is a layered phenomenon and marginalized identities should not be asked to separate, ignore, or erase different aspects of themselves, including but not limited to race, gender, nationality, sexuality, and disability, to be treated as equal. Intersectional feminism is a movement that argues diversity and inclusivity as vital in the fight for universal equality.
This zine is a collection of work from RISD students who responded to the question: What does intersectional feminism mean to you? In each of these works, made in a variety of mediums, the artists expressed their individual, unique perspective and experience with intersectional feminism.

This is the second issue of The RISD Feminists Zine
I created and produced in my second year as President of RISD Feminists.
Marginalized communities have always fought for visibility. For the second annual RISD Feminists Zine, the team has asked for submissions from the community that interrogate what being visible means to them, and how they are advocating for it through their craft. We present a curated collection of art and written work in these pages, in the hopes that they will uplift all the different voices that represent RISD and further encourage the fight for visibility; not only for ourselves, but also for those around us.
