In Defence of De-Persons by Johanna Hedva


I created this zine based on research into DIY spaces and their connection to zines and aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from zines as a way to disseminate theory, I typeset the essay "In Defence of De-Persons" by Johanna Hedva (available online here). I incorporated my own hand-drawn illustrations and other graphics to pay homage to zines while exploring non-normative typesetting that responds to the content of the writing. I also included risograph-printed loose-leaf inserts with specific quotes from the essay, intentionally using the easily transferable quality of risograph inks so readers’ fingerprints remain on the pages.
