About the Summit
The 2024 National Youth Disability Summit was a two-day hybrid event for young people with disability from all over so-called Australia. It was co-designed by young people with disability on CYDA’s Youth Council.
About the Zine
This zine is a collection of artwork and writing by young people with disability, created at our 2024 National Youth Disability Summit.
The artists and writers focused on three themes:
- identity and empowerment
- community
- creating change
But, what is a zine?
A zine is just a little magazine! Pronounced like “zeen”, zines can be made about anything and everything.
Zine culture has historically been anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist and intersectional. Zines have provided a creative space for marginalised people through the ability to express and pursue common ideas and subjects.
Zine culture has many parallels to the 10 Principles of Disability Justice, as outlined here by Sins Invalid. Making a zine encourages anti-capitalist politics, collective access, intersectionality, sustainability and more.
