the imposter handbook

This project strays from conformity and embraces imposter syndrome. Appreciating the audience for how they may already feel, this collection of zines and embroidered patches contribute to the debate on creative insecurity and imperfection through tangible lofi media. The Imposter Handbook is a riso-printed personal zine with a personal monologue about imposter syndrome. The illustrations in this zine were realised through various methods of printmaking and image-making, in particular linocut illustrations. The embroidered patches are inspired by DIY punk subculture and lo-fi media. They are intended to be worn as a stamp of pride, unapologetically displaying one's own feelings of imposter syndrome.
