Bloody Chronix: Issue 1: Transplant Imaginaries

This zine seeks to explore how art, and more specifically, illustration can convey ideas and concerns about chronic health and non-normative bodies. This zine explores key issues identified by Donna McCormack’s project of the same name. This project explored how fiction – novels and films – engage with organ transplantation and what forms of knowledge not only emerge from these texts but challenge so-called scientific practice. Drawing on text, extracts from writers and original artwork, we explore the themes of haunting, body politics & borders, care as violence and justice.
