THE ZINE ARCHIVE

The Trisk Zine was born out of necessity during the height of the pandemic.

They are, however, writers, makers, and all-around the kind of crafty go-getters that one could consider making a zine just an extension of the other creative processes they were already doing themselves. The platform has given the artists a new place to share a larger narrative behind their works. Whether it be a video they are working on, or collages, or an essay or a song, the flexibility of the zine allowed them to create a little nook where they could continue to tell their stories and creatively connect in this new digital world.
