A thoughtful look into gender: imagining, dreaming, (re)thinking and always hoping and creating future. Gender Hope is an anthology with 12 comics about gender by various artists.

The feminist comic network is a community project of self-identified feminist comic authors and enthusiasts of all genders. The submitted comics in this anthology were paid by us and all the money that comes in from selling the anthology will be used in paying back the people who advanced the money and paying for printing.

Aus dem Vorwort:

There‘s so much backlash against progressive gender comprehension going on in the world right now, so we thought it’s time to put some positivity out. We all definitely need some hope at the moment.

The stories you find here range from fictional works to real life experiences. Gender hope can be seen in the tradition of hope punx, creating futures and hope despite oppressive systems (/cistems) and telling about moments of gender euphoria. A world without gender norms and boundaries is possible, it’s within our reach. We can build that world, first with our stories, then in our dreams and finally in the physical world.

Das Zine wurde vom Feminist Comic Network herausgegeben. Die Künstler*innen wurden aus Einreichungen für einen Open Call ausgesucht und für ihre Beiträge honoriert.
