NEW IN: A Line Which Forms a Volume 9

Line Which Forms a Volume is a critical reader and symposium of graphic design-led research that is written, edited, designed and published annually by participants of the MA Graphic Media Design course at London College of Communication.

The ninth issue of A Line Which Forms A Volume meditates on and through living-time. Research through graphic design becomes a practice of deconstructing utilitarian designs of time, unearthing non‑human temporalities and its layered textures. ALWFAV 9 explores objects, spaces and society at large as porous palimpsests – sites of interwoven narratives; unlearning the belief that time exists solely for us.

NEW IN: Where do we all belong?

Where do we all belong? is a socially engaged visual art project exploring loneliness in rural Co. Sligo. This publication documents the project and contains, artworks, participant voices, photographs and texts.

The project responds to a pressing social issue. In 2023, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre found that Ireland has the highest levels of loneliness in Europe, with over 20% of respondents feeling lonely most or all of the time, compared with an EU average of 13%.

Working across Sligo, the project followed a process of research, development and exhibition, engaging communities in the making of the work so that a wide range of voices shaped the outcomes. Through conversation and anonymous surveys, people were invited to reflect on their experiences and thoughts on loneliness. Where do we all belong? aims to inspire meaningful connections and promote social inclusion

NEW IN: Counter Punch, Ophelia Wynne

Boxing has always been more than a fight. It’s movement, a rhythm, and a place to belong. It’s a discipline that gives shape to chaos, offering focus where there might otherwise be none. This work began in small, grassroots gyms – spaces alive with energy, where young people find purpose through repetition and sweat. The thud of gloves, the breath between rounds, the hum of friendship and rivalry. It’s here that boys and girls, young men and women, begin to find their footing. For many of the young boxers I’ve met, the gym is a lifeline – a way off the streets, out of harm’s way, and into a world of structure and self-respect. It replaces uncertainty with discipline, and isolation with belonging.

NEW IN: Jacobin, Issue 61: Teen Issue

Jacobin is a leading voice of the American left, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture. The print magazine is released quarterly and reaches 50,000 subscribers, in addition to a web audience of over 2,000,000 a month.

With the strap line ‘Reason In Revolt’, Jacobin tackles politics from a firmly leftist standpoint, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture. Recent issues of Jacobin have seen the New York-crafted magazine expand; in terms of its physical size, pagination, and (by the looks of things) its team, which has also seen a reshuffle.

“All of [our] policies strive to inspire the youth with belief in its own strength and in the future. Only the fresh enthusiasm and aggressive spirit of the youth can guarantee the preliminary successes in the struggle; only these successes can return the best elements of the older generation to the road of revolution. Thus it was, thus it will be.”

— Leon Trotsky, “The Transitional Program,” 1938

NEW IN: She Breathes in Dirt and Exhales Flowers/Mejor Sola Que Mal Acompañada Vol 2., Jaklin Romine

This is Jaklin Romine’s 4th zine in relation to her 2nd Solo Show, She Breathes in Dirt and Exhales Flowers/Mejor Sola Que Mal Acompañada. It is a body of photographic work that combines the beauty and mastery of her grandmother sewing art and her photographic practice. This body of work seeks to combine her older project, Why Give Me Flowers When I’m Dead?…, taking the flowers that she gave to her abuela when she was still alive and putting them back into a form/body to celebrate her after she has passed. The flowers spilling out of every collar, sleeve, pant leg, and skirt adorning a body that is no longer alive, to give it a revitalized expression. The title comes from Romine’s grandma and herself having a very beautiful close relationship and Romine’s family keeping her away from her grandma when she was passing to the next realm.

NEW IN: Bia! Zine Issue 003

Bia! – meaning ’food’ in Irish and ‘come’ in Igbo – is a community storytelling project. Through the words and images of immigrant and diasporic communities in Ireland, Bia! seeks to document our commonality, counterbalance mainstream food narratives, and celebrate how immigrants and diasporas assert their presence in Ireland through food.

Bia! Zine Issue 03 brings together stories and art from nearly 60 contributors connected to Ireland from across Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and mixed-heritage communities to explore their diasporic identity through food.

This issue traces how identity is formed in the kitchen through memory, unravels in movement, and is repaired through care and resistance, ultimately inviting readers to consider food not only as personal, but also as relational, fluid and a site for radical cultural possibility.
