Title: Calling All the Basic Witches
Description: Lily Haave argues that female pop stars embody the witch archetype through close readings of Homer’s “The Odyssey” and profiles of pop stars: Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Azealia Banks. Lily’s profiles of the five pop stars reference empowerment, sexuality, and the role of media in feminism. The zine has components of digital line work, graphics, tweets, collages, and includes a works cited at the end.
