Fanzine as a Tool of Artistic Expression in Prison Contexts: Visual A/R/Tography with a Group of Prisoners in Module 6 at the Albolote Penitentiary Center in Spain

Abstract

ABSTRACT This project was born with the intention of generating and recording the artistic expression of a group of inmates in module 6 of the Albolote (ES) penitentiary center through the creation of collaborative fanzines. A workshop was created, held once a week for 4 months. Through conceptual proposals and aesthetic tools, each participant in the project developed their own language of artistic expression. The medium for expression was mainly visual, through collage and drawing, but also written, given the comfort language provided. This project, entitled Seísmo, yielded a series of four fanzines, on various themes, collaboratively created with the prisoners.
