Zine: Vagina Dentata

Vagina dentata (Latin for toothed vagina) describes a folk tale in which a woman's vagina is said to contain teeth, with the associated implication that sexual intercourse might result in injury, emasculation, or castration for the man involved.

My friend Jasmine has launched a new project, called @vaginadentatazine. Dedicated to Sci-Fi & Fantasy Females, Issue 001 will be coming in 2016. 🚀

On the 4th Sept they got their first feature on Dazed & Confused Magazine and were ecstatic! Stating - A big thank you to @dazedmagazine & @ashleighkane 💚

They launched their feminist zine 'Vagina Dentata' at Ditto. 
It consists of portraits taken of inspirational women that Yasmine Akim knows on a personal level, the photo-zine also involves written reflections on their lives and the freedom manifest within radical expression.  

You can follow the zine over on Tumblr and Instagram at @vaginadenta

I have been contacting Jasmine about getting involved with producing any illustrations for the zine.

She responded: 'That'd be amazing, I'm running it alongside as my fmp, so am officially starting physical work on the first print issue end of September and will be doing like a call for submissions around the start of October, so I'll message you around them if that's alright? It'd be amazing to feature some of your work!' So I will be keeping that in mind for in a couple of weeks time.

Her Zine's Instagram has also been mentioned on Dazed and Confused Magazine:
