About the Project

Purple Axolotl is a charity BTS Zine runned by students from the Marista University of Guadalajara.A zine is a collection of art and - almost all the time - written works made by a group of contributors, center on a theme.In addition to focusing on the members of the boyband we love, we are getting involve on disclosure about the importance of a marvelous creature from our hometown Mexico: The Axolotl.Our zine will count with two sections, Xochimilco, where the members of the band will get in touch with the axolots in a more common prompt.In the other hand, we'll have Monstruo de Agua, where our contributors will have the opportunity to explore the convivence between the BTS members and the axolotl in a more fantastical prompt.
