From The Gut: Collected Zine Writings

From the Gut is a compilation of zine, illustration and personal essay work by Kirsty Fife, a zine maker, musician, cultural organiser and information worker based in the UK.

Taken from projects undertaken between 2011 and 2021 including the zines Hard Femme, Move Under Yr Own Power and Make It Work, individual pieces explore intersections of class, fatness, queerness, creativity, trauma and mental health.

The resulting collection is a picture of personal and creative growth through cultural production, emphasising a non-linear, intimate and perpetually amateur approach to life story writing.
