Creative publications can go a long way in giving a platform for emerging writers and creatives. Whether launched through an artistic collective, a brand or an individual, zines are a great way to engage in activism, raise awareness and simply connect with an audience.
Swedish label Eytys, for example, takes a stab at promoting diversity through a collage-style creative publication that features 112 pages of the multiculturalism of New York City. The book is named 'These Colors Don't Run.'
LocalLove, on the other hand, is a different breed of zine — it is contained within the digital sphere and it attempts to build an inclusive community that celebrates differences and flaws. Finally, the Vagina Dentata is a creative publication that honors women, LGBTQIA+, POC, and non-binary artists by giving them a platform for self-expression.
