My zines are personal stories, weaved together through creative writing, photography, painting & illustration.

Hansika Jethnani

Hansika Jethnani is a poet, visual artist, writer, and empowerment mentor.

Her creative practice moves across mediums; zines, illustrations, painting, photography, and the written word, exploring themes of colonialism, migration, ancestral memory, queerness, body image, shame, and the ongoing process of unlearning and healing. Her practice is both personal and political, a tender weaving of lived stories and emotions residing within her heart.

Her poems have been published in multiple anthologies and publications, and her zines have been awarded by Bombay Underground and Bazinega.
