Dilma the Impeached Witch

This educational zine collages text blocks and grayscale photographs against red ink drawings to tell the story of Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment from the Brazilian Presidential office. The author, a Barnard first year student, notes parallels between the trajectory of her career to the Armenian folk-tale “The Wicked Stepmother;” they chronicle Dilma’s public image throughout her presidential terms using violent tweets and sexist memes admonishing her as a witch, revealing the nation’s expectation of women.
