This yearâs edition of the zine was produced from submissions received before 22nd May, i.e. at a time of global adjustment to a virus that exposed the worldâs inequalities and brought it to pause. About a week after this date, the George Floyd protests started in the US and spread globally. Delaying the festival felt necessary as many of us were personally affected by the intensity of this time, going straight from lockdown into mass protest scenarios. Despite the delays, creating spaces for voices of colour to exist as priority felt more important than ever.
So we are delighted to finally publish the zine to coincide with an online edition of our festival. This collection includes poetry, paintings, photography and written pieces, all of which centre worlds that exist outside of the white hegemony. The zine will be available online for the first time.
The 60 page collection is being printed on recycled paper in full colour, and will also be available as a PDF. Both will be available to order from our Bandcamp during and after the festival. We hope to be able to distribute our zines from behind a physical merch table at a show in the not-too-distant future.
