About Us
We made our first zine during the lock-down of the COVID-19 pandemic when our entire lives seemed to be mediated by screens. We love this medium as a way to interact with something tangible and (truly) sharable.
Our goal is to reimagine and remake our relationships with our more-than-human kin to create a world where we can all thrive together.
