SEMEAR?

Cover:

Ref: FNZTAVRMC-PT#0867

Title + Issue Number

Details:: "Fanzine produced by Maria Pinto and Sofia Belém, offering a brief description of the wine production process. Using handwritten texts in a variety of styles, drawings and photographic images, the authors create a celebratory atmosphere of festivity and vitality.

The title Semear? (Sow?) is somewhat puzzling, as the opening pages immediately explain that vines are planted rather than sown...

The wine production process is described through concise, descriptive sentences with a degree of technical detail. The illustrations, on the other hand, are allegorical, evoking ancient and profane practices that celebrate nature and fertility, drawing on Greek and Roman mythology and dancing rituals in honour of Dionysus and Bacchus.
