This tactical fanzine designed for the European Municipalist Network comprehensively documents the ongoing collective work of the Feminisation of Politics cell, an initiative exploring how to embed intersectional feminist frameworks into grassroots municipal organizations, policy structures, and local governance. My role centered on art direction, custom portrait illustration, and comprehensive publication architecture. The visual brief required a sophisticated editorial design capable of capturing the human stories behind the network with deep warmth and technical precision, maintaining the rigorous analytical authority of the political project.

Outcomes
The final publication established itself as an educational tool and a key methodological framework for grassroots municipal movements across Europe, providing the direct visual infrastructure that birthed the subsequent FEMMGLOSS project. The primary achievement of the layout lay in its long-term brand scalability, delivering absolute technical autonomy to regional chapters. Internal communication cells and local organizers successfully adopted the fanzine’s graphic system to run political workshops focusing on care structures, mutual aid, and public resource redistribution without recurring design overhead.
