Slash the Patriarchy: A Collaborative Zine Project

As part of this year's Feminist Fright Fest, Monty Protest, the Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity's Zine Fellow, is compiling a collaborative zine titled Slash the Patriarchy, exploring the themes of feminism, sexuality, and horror. Submit a piece: IF YOU DARE!

• Please note that this will be a half-page zine printed in the typical black-and-white, photocopied style. Therefore, submissions must be half of a letter-size sheet of paper or 5.5 x 8.5 inches in size.
• Written and/or visual submissions may include, but are not limited to essays, poetry, narratives, fiction, collage, comics, drawings, or photographs.
• Submissions Due: October, Friday The 13th 
• Please email digital or scanned pages to emilytaylorcenter@ku.edu or drop off hard copies at the Emily Taylor Center (Burge Union 1040).

Share Your Work

Through Feminist Fright Fest, we provide horror creatives at KU and in the Lawrence-KC horror community with opportunities to share and discuss their work in a public forum. We are especially interested in showcasing student work and are open to explorations of the genre through a variety of media, including but not limited to film. If you are interested in sharing your work through a Feminist Fright Fest event, please email us at emilytaylorcenter@ku.edu to discuss potential collaborations.
