Candies and Whims Translation/Publication Project shoots on translation and publication of anarchist/ feminist/ gender/ queer/ mental health and radical texts/ zines/ publications from English language into Filipino language with the aim of publicizing it and distributing it freely into the public or local community, through a language they can grasps, understand and feel connected with, giving them access over readings that cannot be found nor offered by the standard commercial educational system, promoting self-education towards liberation, resistance and freedom.

Candies and Whims Interview Project is a collection of interviews of people from the Philippines about their experiences/insights/ideas about being a wimmin (by choice or as role-enforcement of the society), wimmin struggle/resistance and Anarcha-Feminism in the Philippines Context.

These includes wimmin, myn, queer and people with different gender preferences as correspondents.

make.aZINE - zine fair
Künstlerhaus Vienna, Stachezimmer
20th - 26th May 2013
Zines represent an art form that looks back on a long history. The origin of zines can be traced back to the science fiction scene, but they also enjoyed great popularity within the British and American punk scene as well as during the feminist movement in the 1970s. Far from standartised mass media communication and knowledge dissemination, zines served as mouthpieces for minorities, fringe groups and subcultures. The project make.aZINE aims at making zines as an art form known and useable to a wide audience. The goal is to establish an international network that continuously conveys the actuality of zines as an art form and that shapes the appearance of this art form in a multifaceted way.

Shape and Situate: Posters of Inspirational European Women zine
Issue 2 (2011)

(Blurb by Red Chidgey, organiser of Zine Fest! 2011)...

Zines are hand-made magazines made for love not money. Requiring few resources to self-publish - just a pen, a piece of paper, access to a photocopier - zines are made on the fringes of journalism, art systems, activist scenes, and bedroom cultures. Basically, they rock.

We're super happy to confirm the 4th Zine Fest! to be happening at The Women's Library, London.
The Women's Library has a growing zine collection, covering the 1970s to now, which was first donated by the Ladyfest London 2001 collective.

(Photos and info here: http://remember-who-u-are.blogspot.com/2010/11/shape-and-situate-zine.html )

This zine is made up of of posters made by artists and DIY creatives within Europe, each poster highlighting the (often hidden) history and lives of radical inspirational women and collectives from Europe, as a way of connecting us with the past, the present and to help us to make sure that there will be a future which contains such creative and pioneering female action and activity.
