Pandora Press is the Swansea Feminist Network zine (a zine - pronounced ‘zeen’, derived from ‘magazine’ - is a self-published booklet). Pandora Press aims to be a publication written by and for intelligent creative women, that represents what the Swansea Feminist Network is all about!
Pandora Press is a free and open forum for self expression. You can get involved in any way, whether it be writing articles, submitting artwork, helping with the construction – any aspect you can think of!
Read back issues for free on issuu.com, or buy your own copies at Marching Stars Zine Distro.
Pandora Press is now looking for submissions for its 4th issue! The theme is PINK.
Here are some prompts/ideas for where you could go with this theme, though this list is far from exhaustive:
- Femme/femininity
– raising young girls/the “pinkification” of young girls/Pink Stinks UK
- Beauty/glamour
- Gendered colours
– Women as caring/caregivers
- Reclaiming the colour pink (e.g. Queer Resistance)
- Queer/LGBT* issues
– Love
– Cuteness
– Health/breast cancer
-The body/carnality
Of course, you could also write about things that are pink; some examples include Barbie dolls, flowers, vulvas, carebears, Pink (the artist), lipstick, Miss Piggy, desserts, rose quartz, pink hair, Bagpuss, bubblegum, candyfloss, Hello Kitty, and hearts!
