Mincho #10

Mincho #10 celebrates the feminine condition and art as a space to reveal oneself, to protest and to create, as a powerful form of communication which transcends rules to address the viewer directly, and especially through personal confession. The Indian astronaut Kalpana Chawla (1961-2003) and the last monarch of Hawaii, Lili’uokalani (1838-1917), have inspired our cover illustrations by Maria Herreros, doing a time jump that alludes to oblivion. This has also inspired us to include in this issue authors who helped to pave the way in so-called Herstory, like the activists Guerrilla Girls and the female pioneers of the underground comic in the US.
