Issue No. 1, December 2020 | Resilience
Folklore for Resistance is a project focused on community, mutual aid, anti-racism, decolonization and anti-capitalism through the lens of folklore and ancestry.
In the Resilience issue of our zine, you will find the devil masks of the Iberian Peninsula, a delicious mushroom recipe, a changeling story exploring personal themes of illness and disability, animal tracking, hand-carved block prints of swans and bodily resistance against colonialism, celebrations of our symbiotic relationship with the earth through art and poetry, praise for the grandmother, the sacredness of water, and animals communing in a cathedral thicket at night. We are so excited for you all to read this and to continue to weave the fabric of folklore together.
All zines are produced with community at the forefront. We work in the way of a workers collective where all contributors receive an equal share of the profit. We also will be sharing a contributors portion of the profit with Raven Trust as part of our commitment to reparation and working toward restoring our relationship with being on stolen land.
