Happy World Heart Day! Visit the blog to find the instructions for this origami heart. Link in bio! #WorldHeartDay #WorldHeartDay2021 #heart #origami
On the blog earlier today: Tech-horror tropes, putting the “org” in “cyborg”. I was thinking about the horror potential in cyborgs and wondering whether these extreme tropes and cliches could actually be useful in expressing real experiences of living with a cardiac device.
Some sinister goings-on on the blog this week…
Issue 9 of collaborative patient-produced zine Heart Haiku is available for free download now! Head to the blog (link in bio) and click on Creative Resources to get yourself a copy. There’s even instructions to print out and fold into a booklet zine from the comfort of your own home. Thanks to everyone who contributed their writing on their heart conditions and Friends&Family. The zine is a bit late this month because my daughter caught covid at school and passed it on to both of us parents 🤦🏻‍♀️ We’re all on the mend now, thankfully, but a bit behind on everything and EXHAUSTED! So no new zine theme this month, but a great topic lined up for October.
