Mish Min El Marikh

by Rawand Issa

This work appears in Khabar Keslan Issue 1. DISORIENT

Without any collaboration with publishing houses, or any commitment to the rules of the market, “Mish Min El Marikh/Not from Mars” illustration zine was created. These four images are excerpts from four sections in the zine. 

The zine speaks to relatable personal situations. They are common to many of us insofar as the personal is always in one way or another also political and thus public. 

This publication’s goal is not meant for profit, rather merely to be seen, and to be seen through it.
