We are seeking features from BA, MA and PhD students for a Bechdel zine, to be launched in the graduate show, aiming to support 1st year BA Sound Arts and BA Music Production students who are non binary, trans or female identifying.
Bechdel seeks to bridge the gap in skills sharing for non binary, female, and trans students, and provide a safe space for discussion on overcoming the obstacles these students are more likely to face.
Each feature will be 1 double A5 page spread (landscape A4), and can include diagrams, sketches and/or text on one of the following themes. Please reflect on what knowledge or interests you would like to have received in a zine in your first year, and let me know if you would like to propose something different. Please include a quote from a female, non-binary or trans artist somewhere on the page.
- Technical knowledge illustrated or detailed
- Sound walks, performance and installation related to Sound Arts
- Performance, production and engineering related to Music Production
- Routing diagrams
- Ideas or ethos in line with the inclusivity of Bechdel
- Affirmations
Email i.plum@lcc.arts.ac.uk by 5pm on Friday 27th to let me know if you are interested in submitting, and which theme you have chosen.
The deadline for features to be submitted is 5pm on Wednesday 8th June, as A4 landscape/A5 double page PDF.
