Description

This zine, created by Ashley Wright for her high school European History class, is comprised of collaged screenshots of tweets by the Twitter account @SochiFails, which documented absurd situations encountered by athletes and visitors to Sochi, Russia during the 2014 Winter Olympics. Reproduced tweets include photos of single-stall bathrooms with multiple toilets, dirty drinking water, and a tweet from bobsled racer Johnny Quinn. Toward the end of the zine, Ashley synthesizes the way these tweets challenge the image of Sochi promoted by the Russian government and discusses their potential global impact.
