Typograpghy design for a zine series


Unpost This. Reshare This. began with a crucial question: "How can Baruch promote diversity and show support for its diverse student body in a non-invasive and non-performative way?" As students of Baruch, we had witnessed casual racism and inadequate support for marginalized communities across all levels of the institution. We aimed to replace superficial diversity initiatives with concrete, student-driven solutions by crafting a comprehensive diversity proposal. To connect our proposed solutions with the community's lived experiences, we engaged with students through social media, Instagram polls, and campus flyers. The responses we received were eye-opening, revealing that many students shared similar concerns. We compiled this information into two zines, Unpost This. and Reshare This., each featuring our proposal. Unsure of the outcome but hopeful for impact, we set up a stand outside our gallery in the Newman Library for five weeks, amplifying often silenced voices within our student body. By distributing our zines, we encouraged students and faculty alike to join us in addressing these ongoing issues, fostering curiosity and inspiring meaningful conversations to create lasting change.


Every instance of learning and empathy is a step forward.
