IndigeZINE

Karen Lizzy, Chelsea Hendrickson, Francesca Murnan, and Kateri Joe created a virtual zine for their cohort service project. IndigeZINE is a community-driven creative arts project designed to uplift the experiences and voices of Native people, and share our experiences as Indigenous people living in urban areas across the Salish Sea.

While initially planned as a physical zine, Covid-19 meant the team had to cancel their in-person submission workshops and Pioneer Square art walk release event. They quickly moved their efforts online, launching a project Facebook page and open call to all Indigenous artists in spring 2020. With their virtual format, they were able to publish submitted artworks in many mediums on a rolling basis, while working with a designer to create a printed publication for distribution within Native communities.
