The theme of Issue 3: Breathing Fire is
UNCENSORED RAGE
The concept for this zine is inspired by Rina Sawayama's song, "STFU!"
The song captures a steady build-up of unbridled anger and marks a breaking point that comes across as senseless, uncensored fury to the outside observer. In reality, this amount of rage is warranted; it is a culmination of every injustice experienced across the span of a lifetime. The song becomes a cathartic release while making social commentary on racism, sexism, and the fetishization of Asian women.
Issue 3: Breathing Fire will be a collection of artwork and writing that replicates this feeling of release, building a space for creators of all mediums to call out and/or examine the macro-level injustices (social and systematic inequality) and micro-level injustices (personal, individualized conflicts) they have experienced throughout their lives.
