DID YOU FORGET?
The zine has now officially been published! Read on! Discussion below!
For those of you who are unaware, the 'DID YOU FORGET?' zine is a project that was organised here on Spacehey. It is a collaborative artistic work created, led, and edited by myself - but participated in by a whole range of artists that I am lucky to have bumped into on this website. Sometime just over two months ago, I posted a blog that was accompanied by a set of guidelines asking for submissions to the zine. These submissions could be made from a range of mediums, and as a result there is a wonderful array within. There is also a wonderful array of topics, so many unique minds and characters shine through with such power and strength. You just have got to read it yourself and see. Please do, I am so proud and grateful of everyone who contributed, and I will be grateful of everyone who views it and shares their own thoughts.
The overarching topic that the zine deals with, is regarding things and ideas that have been forgotten, are being forgotten, and will be forgotten.

ADVICE ON VIEWING:
- Read on desktop. Although it is possible to view it on mobile, only do this if it's absolutely impossible to access it via a computer. It is intended and formatted to be read in such way, and the experience is diminished if you do not.
- When turning the pages of the flipbook, do not keep your mouse hovering over the clickable corners. This lowers the resolution of the page, I'm afraid it's just how the website operates. Keep your cursor somewhere else. You also have to hard click on the corners to turn them, not a trackpad tap.
- Click the full-screen button so that you can see the zine over your whole screen, and utilise the zoom features if you find it difficult to read at any point.
- Share the zine! Comment on this blog! Tell me, and all the artists, your thoughts.
Referring to the last bullet point, please leave your thoughts on the zine. This has been a fairly large project that has required lots of effort on the parts of many people. I believe a certain amount of attention is deserved to the amazing contributors.
Do you have favourite pieces? Why? How do they make you think and feel?
What do you like most about the project?
You artists who contributed, are you happy with the zine and how it has turned out?
Thank you all, so very dearly. It has been fantastic.

Oh hey, I wrote an essay once about Saami-Scandinavian interactions in a historical context once for my viking class, I have the essay still. Though it wasn't about modern issues like the article in here.
Oh interesting, what specifically were you covering?
by Vostok; ; Report
How the Medieval Scandinavians & Saami interacted with each other & trying to see what the nature of their relationships was.
Spoiler alert, same as all the relationships they had with everyone, occasional raiding, occasional trading, occasional colonisation. Perhaps I was a little naive when I wrote it two years ago because I mentioned intermarriage, which did certainly happen but now I think I would've taken domestic slavery into account there, or people accumulated as an aftereffect of raiding. Perhaps I was a little too idealistic back then.
But one difference that would be pretty major was that medieval Scandinavians, when they were pagans, were heavily interested in Saami spirituality. Like how in your essay in the Zine where the tourism board talks about them with that mysticism/ esotericism, that is far from a modern development. Like many pagan traditions pagans, Finnic or Nordic, coexisted far better than pagans with monotheists.

pre-medieval and medieval relations of finnic peoples and scandinavians are pretty interesting. would you mind sharing the essay? i would love to give it a read!

I think I did this correctly, as a reminder, I wrote this a few years ago now & I was getting my degree at the time (because this was part of the whole being at school thing.)
I also hope the format survived, I wrote all my essays in Word 2007 which I don't have access to on my computer anymore.
