BEHIND THE ZINE
We powerless as an individual with little to offer towards the pandemic panic. But nothing is hopeless! We are stronger as a community, so we sought to reach out in the only way we knew how - create a space for a community of artists to gather and work towards the goal of providing relief for our neighbors. Whether that is through donation or warming the hearts of those going through a bad time, we can all do something.
