Study Task 9- Reflective Writing

Steps I took:


  1. researched generally into subcultures
  2. realised the lack of information about women in any subcultures other than Punk
  3. began researching punk and more specifically, women of punk, using research and drawing in ink
  4. found out about the term Riot Grrrl and researched more into that then discovering the zines 
  5. researched the content of the zines, reading Girls To The Front by Sara Marcus
  6. researched the aesthetic of the zines and began collaging, working with graphic black text and drawings 
  7. began comparing the punk zines of the 90's with the feminist zines were beginning to see being made now for example Cuntry Living
  8. contrast the differences between these two, old and new, seeing how things have developed in terms of inclusivity and intersectionality
  9. began writing my own manifesto to include all the old and new elements of Punk/ Riot Grrrl feminism 
  10. made a Riot Grrrl style collaged, painted and hand-drawn version of my manifesto
