Nase Zine is a photocopy magazine (fanzine), founded by Deniz Beşer, La Garçonne and Muzaffer Hasaltay Du von Jetzt. It is published in three languages German, Turkish and English. We understand the Zine and its events as a point for a get-together of the Vienna based Turkish and post-migration subcultural scene.
Topic of the Nase Zine’s 5th issues is ”gender”. What does the social category gender mean? Why are these templates of separation and conflict existing? Is there such a think like ”normality”? What about the people who have to complete official forms and do not know if they should tick with “f” or “m”? What about the people who are overseen or especially perceived, because they do not correspond to normalized gender perceptions?
How did the social construct gender changed its shape throughout the history? Which struggles and resistance did the also appear against this social pressure? Why are identity politics also functioning as an important tool?
Of course, it is hard to give sharp and totally right information on this senstive topic but the the artists of Nase Zine’s 5th issue will try sharing their ideas and thoughts freely.
