An
interview with Thara Harris |

A very
neat, small zine (I have #3) dealing with love, friendships, family, just
as the title says! Thara is doing zines since 1995!!! thara@livejournal.com http://www.geocities.com/lowsmile/index.html |

Can
you tell me first of all a little bit about yourself? How old are you, where
are you originally from and where do you reside now? well, i was born in a metro wv hospital on july 12, 1980, and i'm from saint albans, wv, where (according to my driver's liscense) I currently live. but really, i live in huntington, wv, where i am a student at marshall university. |

For
how long have you been running your zine now? How many issues did you
put out until now? Are you the only editor or is there a team? What
made you decide to start this project? How did you come up with the idea
and the name? What
topics are most often discussed in your zine? What
do you hope to accomplish by establishing your zine? What
was your first exposure to zines? How did you find out about them? What
have they come to mean to you? Do
you consider grrrl zines as an important part of a movement of sorts?
Do you think zines can effect meaningful social and political change? |
|
What
does the zine community mean to you? / Could you please describe a little
bit the grrrl zine community in your country?
|
|
What
advice would you give others who want to start a zine? What
are some of the zines you admire? Do
you define yourself as a feminist? What
are the most pressing issues you are confronted with in daily life (as
a woman/feminist)? Are
you active in the feminist movement? What
do you think about feminism today? Do you see yourself as part of "Third
Wave Feminism" and what does it mean to you? Which
role plays the Internet for you? Does it change your ideas of making zines
and doing/reading zines? 6)
Do you have any suggestions? Something you want to add?
