You found us, We are (the)MAGAZINE.
Yes, the brackets are there for a reason.
It's a wink and a message at the same time.
We are experimenting with format, identity, and what people expect, all of which come from subculture, critique, or art.
We don't want to be in charge. We exist in the space between, where radical ideas, underground culture, creative resistance, and stories that don't fit anyplace else may all come together.
Born from the edges and made for movement, (the)MAGAZINE’s purpose is to magnify voices that question, disrupt, dream, and rebuild—with a sense of fashion. We publish research, criticism, science fiction, speculative writing, performance diaries, and experimental work, all of which engage with art, advocacy, change, and clothing as culture.
We think that writing can have an effect.
We think that subculture is culture.
We believe in your voice, your vision, and the way you see the future.
It's a magazine, or maybe it's "the" magazine. Interpret it however you want.
We believe that telling stories of strength, activism, and new ideas can motivate other people to act and make their communities better places to live. While storytelling can be a powerful tool for inspiring change, it is important to recognize that systemic issues require more than just individual action and inspiration—they necessitate structural and policy changes as well. Additionally, focusing solely on individual stories of success may overlook the broader societal barriers that prevent widespread progress towards a more fair and sustainable world. It is important to address systemic issues and advocate for collective solutions in order to create meaningful change.
As an independent publication we rely on volunteer efforts and individual donations to continue producing high-quality unique content. Thank you for considering contributing to our success and growth.
“Don’t believe a word we say until you make it yours!”
