The Slavic Girl's Handbook is an ongoing zine series exploring stereotypes of Slavic women through the Western gaze and educating the reader on Slavic history and culture. Featured in the UAL Society of the Slavic Arts exhibition, Reimagining Slavic Identities, the original first edition evolved as a continued series educating on Slavic culture and while also speaking to the intended audience of Slavic girls and women.
Vol. 4 features a set of responses to a shared survey, by girls representing different Slavic countries from Poland to Bosnia & Herzegovina, sharing their experiences of how they are perceived through the Western gaze, experiences of harmful stereotyping, and what makes them most proud to be Slavic. These conversations explore the Slavic diaspora in the UK and abroad, building upon a community formed by shared experience and cultural traditions. Unlike the previous collage spreads, Vol. 4 is the first in the series to be fully digitally designed and edited.
