BITE

JUNE 2025


For Issue 04, we asked artists and writers to reflect on the theme of BITE. Think... feasts, love bites, the way a sentence can sink its teeth into you, food cravings that hit at 3am, sharp comebacks, that thing you almost said but didn’t, dental records, eating your words, food sharing politics, forbidden fruit, and the ways we devour.

BITE is about appetite, impulse, pleasure, danger, and control. The responses we received were playful, raw, tender, and occasionally feral—featuring contributions from 91 creators.

OCTOBER 2024


For Issue 03, we asked artists and writers to reflect on the theme of Time. Think... what goes on at 2am, your morning routine, how long a cat stares at you until you feel weird, your personal crush timeline, how long before your repaint your nails, food diary, hair growth, angel numbers you've seen, what kind of clock you have, you alarm pattern and corresponding sounds, when the bar closes, 9-5pm, and how long it takes you to fall in love. Time is a concept that touches all aspects of our lives. The responses we received were as varied and fun, featuring contributions from over 46 contrubutors!
