International Woman's Day Zine 2025
Author(s): Alexandra Khomenko
Created in celebration of International Women’s Day, in partnership with At The Above, Soft Power is a collective declaration of selfhood. A response to a world that often demands woman to "fold yourself small" and "smile with silenced throats."
A collection of personal works — from candid voice memos and raw poetry to mixed media and photography. It takes the "tesserae of ourselves" and "stitch[es] them back with fire, with love, with art," celebrating the wild, holy, raw power of women.
Contributors — including Alexandra Khomenko, Nixie-Claire Lepore, and many others — share works that challenge societal expectations, as expressed in the repeated refrain: "Do not alter me / If you wish to love me / Do not mould me / Do not shape me". It is a collection celebrating the spirit of women, because women deserve it.
