My intention is to examine and explore the feminist, punk, zine culture of the 80's/90's, giving an overview into the history of this, and contrasting it to the way we approach feminism now. I have begun to look at texts such as Angela McRobbies "Feminism and Youth Culture" to examine what kind of impact punk had on young girls in the movement at the time, with a few to eventually understanding the relavance the women of Punk have in our modern idea of feminism.
Possible visual approaches:
- typically "feminine" crafts such as embroidery (although this would require learning and perfecting a new skill in a short amount of time)
- quilting?
- DIY making culture such as cut and paste collage and photocopying
- using bright and typically "girly" colours such as pink
Possible final product ideas:
- A zine, with manifesto and facts about third wave and current feminism
