Process<\/h2>\n
Adam, my other group partner, is into stenciling, i.e. cutting out images in paper and painting through them onto public surfaces. I also researched zine culture a bit and I noticed a root in the Russian samizdat<\/em>. From Wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n Samizdat was the clandestine copying and distribution of government-suppressed literature or other media in Soviet-bloc countries. The idea was that copies were made a few at a time, and anyone who had a copy would make more copies, often by handwriting or typing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Adam happened to give a presentation in class on stencil art, and I thought why not stencil the zine? If a major component of zine culture is distribution, why not distribute it large and publicly. Create a zine<\/dfn> based on personal symbols and icons. Our group stenciled a 12’x5′ zine on a wall. There is a short video of the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[3],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1341,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287\/revisions\/1341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nWith our third partner Nina we each created our own set of imagery with a general composition in mind. The hard part was cutting these things out of thick paper. My finger tips are still bruised from the 12-hour ordeal.
\nI’ll let this little video I made tell the rest of the story.
