This zine from Matao Dreskin is printed on a single sheet of 11×17 paper and folds out into a full size poster. Matao Dreskin a Japanese and Jewish artist who currently resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dreskin is an anarchist who brings politics to life visually through print and book making. They explore themes of impossible anarchistic hope amidst the Anthropocene. This zine in particular was inspired by the political pamphlet Inhabit (inhabit.global is the website listed within the zine). Following a long tradition of zinesters, Dreskin created new visuals for preexisting text from the Inhabit pamphlet “They tell us to wait as our lives pass us by, hardly touching the surface of what we could become.”
