We are pleased to introduce Colour into Focus: Queer + Trans Collage, a series showcasing an international roster of LGBTQIA2S+ artists who work with collage and mixed media in their creative practice. The series will be released as eight themed chapbooks.

For a limited time, you can support this project by purchasing all eight issues at a special rate of $8 per issue plus shipping. A limited number of these pre-paid subscriptions are available. Our first issue is currently being printed, and is slated to ship in October 2025. We anticipate the release period for the full series of eight zines to be about 12-18 months.

USA: All eight issues for $80 (includes shipping & handling costs)

Copies will ship packaged in envelopes with stamped postage from the USA. Shipping the zines as letters/"flats" helps us address the challenges associated with changing mail and tarrif situations around the world.
