SUBSTRATE is a
quarterly zine that asks artists and writers to consider what a better world might look like.
For another world
to be possible, we must
first--and continually--learn to imagine and deeply believe
in it.
We seek to practice
revolutionary optimism and
imagination as one antidote
to nihilism, apathy, and
despair. We want to exercise
the creative muscles
involved in remaking futures for us to live
in and we want to do it
together.
SUBSTRATE is lovingly edited by Philadelphia-area artist cort hartle. The digital version of this zine is free to download. Distribution is encouraged, and print copies are avaliable for a $5 suggested donation. For inquiries, questions, or feedback, please email me using the “contact” button above :)
