On Righteous Anger

Zines & Creative Writing

On Righteous Anger began as a series of exercises where I found myself writing about climate anxiety, my mother, and the overwhelming feeling that environmental crises bring on.

As I continued writing and making, I realised that beneath the anxiety was something else: anger. A frustration rooted in witnessing injustice and feeling powerless to change it. This project became an exploration of what happens when that anger is acknowledged rather than suppressed, and how it might become a catalyst for action instead of paralysis.

The research behind this work draws heavily from writers and artists whose voices have historically been marginalised. I became interested in whose anger is recognised as legitimate, whose is dismissed, and how systems of power shape who is allowed to express outrage. These questions felt especially urgent within conversations around climate justice, where the communities most affected by environmental harm are often those with the least political and economic power.

Through zine making and creative writing, On Righteous Anger is an ongoing body of work, and I plan am in process of distributing the finished zines as a way of sharing these reflections.
