I had the idea to make a zine that focuses on one or more tribe that could educate people about its artefacts. It could act as a supplement to a museum display as well as being sold at artist fairs. The zine could be double sided where one side shows the objects, how they are made and what they are used for and the other side could show them in context or could illustrate a myth that surrounds them. The first side could be very simple illustration like in this leaflet from the Wellcome Collection display, while the reverse could be a full colour print.

I'd like the zine to be interactive in some way. Perhaps it could fold out to create a large image or poster on the back. If the majority of the illustrations are simple line drawings, readers could be encouraged to colour them in.

The focus of my dissertation is how the attention of the Western world has changed the way in which tribal objects are viewed, produced and used today. The inspiration for this came from watching the BBC David Attenborough series 'The Tribal Eye'. Researching for my dissertation has deepened my interest in the subject and so I though it would be useful to link my summer project to this theme in some way. The video is one of the most interesting episodes of the series. It centres around the Dogon tribe of Mali.
