Call My Name (issue 1)

Description

A5 / 26 page / b&w / Germany

Call my name is a perzine by Charlotte, who lives in Germany. It’s most often handwritten, each page is decorated with Charlotte’s drawings and college, and every copy hand a hand coloured cover and is bound with colourful embroidery thread.

Issue one (the strawberry issue) covers body politics and not wearing a bra, her parents home, how people in different places view you, fulfilling people’s exceptions (or not), showing her underwear and feeling no shame, going to see Kimya Dawson and “remember[ing] how beautiful everything is and how wonderful people can be”, plus a vegan strawberry cheesecake recipe!

(this zine mostly in English, there is also a very small section written in German)
