100 DAYS Of Travellers In Red

Created as part of 100 Days Project, this zine presents and collects an impressionistic record of fellow commuters on the London Transport; capturing those travellers who chose to wear red (whether it be a scarf, a coat or even a pair of red headphones) amidst a sea of dark coats and colours. All the sketches collected in this volume were drawn live and in situ over a few minutes with a pair of brush pens

Journeys

A collection of printed works on trips, daily commutes, memories of travels, and being itinerant.

1. ATTACHMENTS Nausheen Javed Moving has been the only constant in most of my life. As a result, to keep my memories intact, I attach myself to the stuff inside those walls. Although now I can never imagine myself to be in the same place for long enough.

2. 100 DAYS OF TRAVELLERS IN RED Akhila Krishnan These everyday portraits are an impressionistic record of a hundred travelers on a specific London Overground line (with occasional tube portraits tucked in). Collected together and sequenced, the result is a moving volume of collective human experience.

3. NO MAMES GUEY Diana Chu Stories from a 9-state, 30-day road trip over the summer of 2017.Collage, film-photography, and passages typewritten on a 1940’s Corona.

4. PAIRS OF SHOES Akhila Krishnan Combining 3 color screen printing and digital printing; this set of 4 unique postcards attempts to capture and convey the materials, colors, textures, and shoes of India.

Nausheen Javed Is an Animation Filmmaker and Illustrator. Her first film was nominated in several film festivals in Europe and Asia. She works under the childhood name ‘Gojagaaji’, which meant rough scribbles, emphasises on the childlike qualities of expression and the ‘word-picture’ association. She feels it’s important to never leave behind the ability to express like a child. Thus she writes for adults. Be it film, her zines or illustrations are all derived from her works of poetry and writings of the diary. Diana H. Chu is an illustrator, designer, and zinester in Milwaukee. She explores the duality of chaos/order by experimenting with color and poetry on the printed page. Diana’s cut + paste aesthetic leverages analog media and a highly intuitive process. Her illustrations have been recognized by the Society of Illustrators and American Illustration Akhila Krishnan is a visual artist, film-maker and designer. Akhila’s practice explores the relationship between the material and the temporal, the still and the moving image; negotiating their knots of tension and connection. She is interested in exploring the boundaries of language and medium to discover new dimensions that are inherent within them. This act of translation and revelation is a crucial aspect of her practice.
