Exhibited in "Zines Forever! DIY Publications and Disability Justice" at Wellcome Collection, 14 March - 14 September 2025.

Exhibition caption for Zines Forever! DIY Publications and Disability Justice at Wellcome Collection: "In Embodied, Rae Lanzerotti, a genderqueer artist and zine maker based in San Francisco, explores their experience of sight-loss during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Zines are often described as an accessible media, but accessible to who? Rae is interested in producing zines and artworks which are readily accessible to blind and partially sighted audiences. They have produced multiple versions of the comic zine Embodied, each time responding to feedback from the blind and low vision community. This version of the zine is made with raised tactile images and braille, as well as an audio-described narration that can be listened to on headphones."
