By: BrookRecently, through the encouragement and support of Dr. Buchannan and Dr. Fish, I discovered that Phem was awarded $1000 to put towards publication of Phem. I am so excited to see this long held dream of viewing Phem in print materialize! We are hoping to have the realease party in August at a local gallery where my photography and hopefully my fellow journeyers photography from South Africa will be displayed and up for sale to fundraise towards South Africa service learning organizations and future Phem events.
In order to realize this goal on a very strict timeline (everything needs to be lined up in the coming months) I am currently seeking contributors who would like to offer something in the printed version of Phem that include {but is not limited to}
- Commentary that addresses current and future events/issues that are affecting/influencing the social justice movement.
- Book/movie reviews that reflect a consciousness raising effort towards these issues.
- Poetry and essays of a personal, political or academic nature that would enhance the scope of Phem's purpose.
- Photography/sketches/comics and the like that would bolster the visual impact of Phem
- Personal reflections on activism that have influenced your academic/personal experiences.
- Ideas towards our "Phemanifesta" statement.
- Contributions towards a resource list for readers to address these topics:
- reproductive health
- domestic violence
- sexual assault
- health/nutrition
- feminist friendly venues in the area
- women's centered programs in the area
In solidarity,
Brook Buesking
