(in)Visible
"(in)Visible" (placeholder title) is a zine that delves into the complex dynamics of visibility and invisibility at the intersections of race, LGBT identity, disability, and other marginalized identities. Through art, poetry, essays, and personal narratives, this zine explores how individuals from these communities navigate the spectrum of visibility, from being rendered completely invisible to hyper-visible and scrutinized.
At its core, "(in)Visible" confronts the paradoxical nature of visibility, examining how some identities are hypervisible in certain contexts while simultaneously rendered invisible or marginalized in others. Contributors to the zine explore themes of representation, recognition, erasure, and the politics of visibility, shedding light on the ways in which society's gaze shapes perceptions of self and community.
Through reflections and collective storytelling, "(in)Visible" amplifies the voices and experiences of those whose identities are often overlooked or misunderstood. It challenges dominant narratives, confronts systemic inequalities, and celebrates the resilience and strength of marginalized communities. By centering the perspectives of those at the intersections of multiple marginalized identities, this zine aims to disrupt conventional notions of visibility and reclaim agency over one's own narrative and existence.
