introduction

this zine will dedicate itself to the art that the youth creates; the people whose inspiration shines a light on the darkness of the world; those who are determined to change the world or themselves—both of which are hard tasks to conquer. this zine will dedicate itself to art with meaning, by people who create meaning through art. it is the product of what we, as a powerful force, create, no matter what our own definitions of art may be.

OUTBREAK

hello, old friend. here we are again: another issue, another conversation after what feels like eternity.

just listing all the absurd things that have occurred in this new year would be enough content for a magazine issue.

i find that these unusual, inexplicable times that we find ourselves in can be best described with the word OUTBREAK, which i set as the theme. (new things, new discussions, new thoughts are suddenly emerging.) (but are they really new, or are they only a collision, an amalgamation of things that have existed for centuries?) (what is the relationship between outbreak and breaking out?) we have begun to live with and adapt to constant change, unanswered questions, and a growing need for activism. soon, the world will emerge from its cocoon, transformed, remoulded, renewed.
