Paper Rhino devised this project to publish work exclusively made by Peterborough women and other marginalised genders. To say: it's OK to make illustration, typography, graphics, prints, crafts. In fact it's amazing. Make the work that you want to make, for the reasons you want to make it. That's a radical act of feminism in itself. 24 artists were invited to risograph printing workshops at Paper Rhino. During the sessions they created a portfolio of spontaneous, intimate work that were curated into a series of zines. The first issue GAZE01 is all about internal voice and includes original artwork from 10 local artists: Prin Marshall, Aggie Dolan, Lorna Harrington, Vicky Hackney-Williams, Amanda Rigby, Carol Clark, Trudy Dean, Angela Kolokotroni, Kate Genever and Amanda Palmer. With thanks to Katy Hawkins. Fonts by Dave Bailey and Alanna Munro. GAZE gives a platform to artists from diverse communities and disciplines, particularly those who feel creatively uninspired, unexpressed or excluded.
