Refugium Zine Submission

Are you an immigrant? Share your story on how immigrating to the U.S has impacted your life below!

“Refugium” will be a first edition, self-published, and printed at home zine by Ares Maia.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: AUGUST 3, 2020

Pre-order links will be available soon.

If you don’t know where to begin, let me help you:

Have you changed your name to make it easier to be pronounced in English? Were you ever ashamed of parts of your body that looked different from your peers (skin, body hair, eyes, hair, etc)? Did you ever feel disconnected when your friends talked about their childhood? Was there ever shame surrounding money when you moved to the U.S? Did you ever actively attempt to change your personality to fit in with your peers? Do you have specific memories of being mocked because of your accent?

Thank you for participating ♡
