art is how we share feelings and how we connect to something larger than ourselves. it almost feels like magic when we see or hear something that brings back a visceral memory, like a waking dream. when things are difficult, we heal ourselves through creation. when things are full of love and intensity, we let our voices loose.
i know a lot of us are feeling sad and tired right now. ben and i certainly are. but we need to keep fighting. i believe that art can and should be part of the fight, so here we are. we are calling for submissions for a new zine. the project will be funded by, and will tie into, a limited run of our fuzz pedal, shefuzz. if we get enough interest, there will be 4 or 5 issues, each released with a batch of pedals.
we will also release a mixtape called quiet/loud. we are only making one mix tape because we are not sadists. one side will be quiet, one side will be louder.
10% of all proceeds of the project will go to abortion funds in various states that have been working to sound the alarm for abortion rights for years and that are doing the life-saving work of providing people with support/funding/after care for their abortions.
what are we asking for? poetry, essays, fiction, visual art, and music. we will be printing this on a risograph, so keep that in mind when submitting visual art. also, i am not going to exclude cismen, but it does feel like a time to give voice to a diverse group of women/non-binary/trans folks.
please fill out the submission form. deadline for the first issue is going to be June 15, 2019.
thank you for all your support.
love and peace,
louise and ben
