Author Contributor-based submissions; introductions by Melina Mehr
invisibilities is a contributor-based zine centred around the experiences of various marginalized groups and the process of decoding our environment through translation, mythology, and memory. This DIY project aims to create community through the visibility of those often omitted and erased from popular and subculture narratives. Issue No. 1 collects the stories and visualizations of womxn living with hidden chronic illnesses, and Issue No. 2 focuses on the family histories of womxn pertaining to diaspora and immigration. Issue No. 3 is currently being developed and intends to consider the intersections of spirituality, anti-oppressive frameworks within the art world, and community care. invisibilities is self-published by Toronto-based writer Melina Mehr; the zines are printed at a local family-run print shop and assembled and packed in Melina’s living room. Submissions are currently volunteer based, and all sales stream directly back into printing and assembling costs. invisibilities serves as a digital and physical platform for individuals to expand creative networks, experiences, and values, and hopes to resonate with folks who are interested in alternative spaces, but fail to see themselves represented.
