What the Judges are Saying
This project has a good start and I feel like it could really benefit the community. I think the group could dive deeper into creating more engaging content and bringing technology into the project to really elevate it.
I think the emphasis on bringing people together by celebrating everyone’s culture can only help bring the community closer. This definitely has good potential and serves a need within NYC.

Arma, Frenyeli, Sadiya, and Ivan, this is such a thoughtful and meaningful digital zine. Inter-Twine does a beautiful job of bringing awareness to the experience of individuals trying to acclimate to a new place and culture, while also honoring the importance of holding on to their own cultural identity.
I really appreciated how your project offers resources and advice that encourage people to step outside of their cultural comfort zones and explore new environments. It’s also powerful that you addressed the negative influence social media can have, especially in shaping harmful assumptions about others- such an important perspective to include.
I loved your idea of incorporating real voices and stories into the zine. If you’re able to embed videos or personal testimonials, that would bring an added layer of connection and interactivity to the experience.
Well done!
