Combahee River Collective Zine (2021)
Commissioned publication in collaboration with Print Ain’t Dead and Boston Center For The Arts.
“For Combahee’s Radical Call, designer Zoë Pulley has created a free zine of the complete annotated text of the first published version of the 1977 Combahee River Collective Statement. The aim of this commission is first and foremost to ensure that the radical call and visionary ideas of the statement’s co-authors–including Demita Frazier and sisters Barbara and Beverly Smith–would be freely available to those across Boston eager to reference this influential document. It is also an opportunity for a sharp-eyed designer to highlight and visually reframe these original words in our 2021 present. The printed zine unfolds into a poster format with key call-out quotes from this powerful text.
As of February 9, copies of the zine will be accessible both in print (~500 newsprint takeaways will be available –one per person– from a box on the BCA Plaza) and as a downloadable pdf.
The PDF may be accessed for download HERE.”
