The world of zine-making is a colourful collage of diversity, representation, and creativity. Every zine is a unique story that unfolds across its pages, just as Auntie Fatima zines by Soofiya do. Printed in vibrant Papago Pink, this folded leaflet printing London project is a testament to the powerful potential of indie zine printing.
The Auntie Fatima zines are simple yet poignant, an A4 sheet folded down to A7 leaflets, sporting black ink illustrations printed single-sided onto 100gsm Papago Pink. Despite the simplicity of the format, the message is profound. Soofiya’s work navigates the intersections of race, faith, and gender, bringing conversations around these themes to the fore.
The benefits of folded leaflet printing shine through in the Auntie Fatima zines. The simple fold and cut process used to create these zines allows the work to remain accessible, portable, and engaging. The cut and fold nature of these leaflets also serve as a metaphor for the way Soofiya’s work unfolds critical conversations around identity and belonging.
