ANTHRA

Anthra lies somewhere between a zine, an anthology and a coffee table book. Compiled by Molly Hills and Patrick Walsh, designed and put together by Masa Mlakar, the first issue of Anthra explores the relationship between humans and plants in dense urban environments. It brings art, poetry and science together into a human space, to reflect on the ties between the wild and the domesticated. In this book, you’ll find imagery, poetry and essays that tell stories of what it means to be a human in an urban landscape, which can seem both so separated and yet so inextricable from the natural world.

LOUISE REDIF

“I'm Louise, a self-taught artist from London who loves to create comics featuring the different worlds that live rent free in my brain. I am hugely inspired by the childhood cartoons I grew up with, as well as by music and other fellow comic makers!

The comics I'm showcasing at this festival feature different parts of my character May's life, and two different adventures she has been on: One focusing on her being recruited by an intergalactic space team, and the other being a not-so-successful date. May has been a character which has grown alongside me,and I'm very excited to be able to share her stories with the world-Her original concepts were designed way back in primary school!

Space Agent Diamond GO! The Introduction

‘Space Agent Diamond GO!’ is a Sci-fi/Adventure comic that focuses on May Diamond: A resident of the planet Mystellia trying to find her way back to her home planet. Whilst travelling through the galaxies she gets recruited by none other than the Space Agents! An interspecies group of space travellers who'd joined together to take down the Demons who yearn to control the Universe. Will May stand up to the challenge and confront the Demons, or will her desire to get back to Mystellia get in the way? This comic is a small introduction to the story, and introduces us to the Space Agent's that May will be working with!

‘The Date Crashers of Mystellia’: Hampton finally gathers the courage to take May out on a date, and was excited that she wanted to spend Valentines with him! However after their overly eager friend's input, being hit in the face, and an inconsiderate double date tagging along, Hampton questions if the date was even a good idea at all...

JONATHAN HALL

Johnathan Hall (b. 1988) is an upcoming photographer based in South East London. His artistic practice incorporates composite imagery portraying the interaction between people and place.

Johnathan has just completed his studies in photography with the Open College of the Arts. He’s had his work London: Still/Moving displayed at the OXO Tower as part of a group exhibition with the same university. He has recently volunteered with a local arts festival (Deptford X), which has helped to develop his network in the area. Through this networking he was able to take the opportunity to locally exhibit (Re)constructing Deptford, and has since made a zine of the same name.

‘(Re)constructing Deptford’

“Tap. tap. tap. Is that the sound of a place being incessantly reconstructed - like Deptford has been since the docks were built? Or is it the sound of the Thames gently lapping against its side?

Look around you, and you’re bound to see a multitude of signs that point to new futures. Look a little closer and there might be some traces of a dwindling industrial past. Amid the ebb and flow of this constantly developing place, there are strands linking Deptford to its community. Do these paths connect people to the docking heritage or to the onwards march of gentrification and shiny façades? Which paths are permanent and which are more transient? Does it even matter - is looking to preserve something intangible in an ever changing world an exercise in futility? I think the biggest question for me: what does it mean to have soul in a place undergoing change?

Walking down Deptford High Street as a child, I was fascinated by the sounds, smells and tastes of the market. Nowadays, not much seems to have changed. Apart from everything around it, myself included. These days as a photographer, I pay more attention to the sights around me. As I document the town, I ask myself what Deptford means to me. My lens is drawn to the people because they are the ones who mould and sculpt Deptford over time. I use a photographic technique where I layer people from different moments onto the landscape they’re slowly constructing. These composites pose questions like: are people and the communities they build more meaningful than the land they inhabit? Are they subject to change like the developments surrounding them? Maybe the only constant is change itself, just like the tide on the river running alongside...”

ALLIE’S ART CLUB

Allie's Art Club is a community of creatives who believe in the power of art to generate positive changes for ourselves and others. Formed by volunteers in 2021, our mission is to create opportunities for people to have fun, express themselves, improve their sense of wellbeing and develop strong social connections through the arts. We value art as a peaceful yet powerful form of self-expression that can contribute to building a happy, healthy and honest world.

‘Crazy’ is a common word that is very much embedded in the English language without much awareness of how its use reflects and reinforces prevailing views of mental health. In this zine, we use the word crazy as a starting point to discuss mental health and the stigma that surrounds it through the mediums of art and poetry.

Showcasing a range of drawings, paintings, photography, digital art and poems, as well as discussions and definitions of important mental health terms, this zine showcases the views and experiences of 10 talented London-based artists on topics ranging from mental health stigma, mental ill-health, the public mental health system, self-care and supportive relationships.

Under the community organisation Allie's Art Club, all profits from zine sales will go towards the club's project to support people's mental health through the arts.

MATT WRIGHT

“I work as a TV Lighting Cameraman but outside of this I love how photography enables me to express myself and create in an entirely different way to when I’m working with moving images. I want to create images that celebrate texture and colour.”

‘Colouristic’ is Risograph printed in four colours.

ALFIE HATCH

“My short comic was created in response to the various conversations I overheard while working at a pub. They started as amusing snippets of conversations, which I would remember and quickly sketch after I finished my shift. I started to build up a collection of moments, soon I had enough to turn into this zine.

From growing up in Lambeth and seeing the area change, I hope these illustrations capture a certain atmosphere of South London at the moment, where there is a clash between old residents and young professionals.

DAZ 高艺德

“I'm an International teacher from the UK. In a previous life I studied an MA in Communication Design and was a bedroom graphic designer that never really made it. I’ve taught in China, Japan and Germany. I’m currently back in the UK teaching.

As I’ve been teaching I’ve valued having creative projects on the side. It all started with illustrations in China that later became a Series titled: a rainy day. These were produced during my first three years living in China (2013 – 2016). The ink sketches were connected to experiences and part of the process of my adaption to a completely different culture. The title of the Series and the illustrations are open to interpretation.

I currently operate under the alias: Daz 高艺德. My Chinese name is gāoyìdé 高艺德. I lived in China for six years and after leaving I've maintained my connection because of the relationships that were built plus I'm still curious about Chinese language and culture.”

‘The Professionals’

A shark, a rat and a snake. What’s the connection? The Professionals is a guide to the wildlife that may grace your workplace. Be sure to identify them correctly. Depending on your preference: snuggle up to them, attempt to tame them or give them a wide berth. It’s your choice.

‘Love’

Created during a stay in an Airbnb. I folded a variety of distinct origami hearts and they were arranged in different patterns. I recorded my personal reflections for each

particular arrangement.

SICK LOVE ZINE

Sick Love Zine is an independent platform celebrating young creatives and their work. With an arts and culture focus, Sick Love encourages honest conversations around the issues that affect young creatives whilst promoting unique talent.

Sick Love is a multi-platform project existing across Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, as well as in print. Print has always been a powerful political tool - especially for those excluded from the mainstream media - and we wish to build on a long history of print with purpose through our bi-annual publications.

‘10 ZINE’

10 ZINE centres itself around the London based creatives and activists we believe are set to make progressive change in their fields over the next 10 years. To mark Sick Love’s 1-year anniversary, we wanted to create a print issue that embodied our ethos, aiming to champion young creatives whilst reflecting on the issues that affect many in the community. Photographed by Aria Shahrokhshahi, the zine features:

Ellie Pennick (founder of Guts Gallery); Lucia Blayke (founder of Trans+ Pride and Harpies); Bee Illustrates Rukiat; Foundation FM; Seren Metcalfe (founder of the Working Class Creatives Database); Teaday Blogs (founder of Re-Educate)

Queer House Party; 4 BROWN GIRLS WHO WRITE; Prishita Maheshwari-Aplin (Politics Editor at BRICKS Magazine and trustee for Voices4 London)

10 ZINE also includes artworks by George William Vicary and Beth Nicol

‘Kyiv’

Kyiv is a 4 part print project offering insight into underground creative scenes in Europe, platforming those at the forefront of artistic and social development in their respective cities.

Out of all the cities visited, Kyiv offered us the most unfamiliar - and thus enthralling - cultural experience. Everyday was a bombardment, a visual and sensory overload experienced through the cold beauty and verve of the city.

Over a month before the release of this project, Putin launched a barbaric and unprecedented attack on Ukraine. This print celebrates the vibrance of Ukrainian culture and the strength of its people. All profits from this publication will be donated to Ukrainian LGBTQ+ and feminist NGO Insight.

The zine is an extended story of Artist’s 2nd book about Hong Kong Food Culture. As a fan of tofu, Alison would like to share the story of the local tofu business. From the same origin, SOY Beans, a wide range of tofu and relevant products are being produced as low price food ingredients, which contribute to Hong Kong people’s daily meals throughout the years.The setting of traditional tofu shops attached with workshops have become a special part of Hong Kong tofu culture. Before the disappearance of the traditional local tofu culture under the rapid urban development in the city, Alison wishes to use her illustrations and words to pay a tribute to the people, who have spent their life in the industry.

‘There is no place before arrival’

Alison selected a series of travel sketches she made in the past few years, to curate a narrative, which questions the relationship and meaning of places, mobility and existence. The zine offers the space of imagination to the readers and redefines the meaning of various places, with and without the arrival of oneself, especially during the pandemic era.

‘Scorpio Moon #10’

Scorpio Moon #10 was written over the course of 2020, tracing the first year of the pandemic and its impact upon my life. In this zine I write about those early few months where everything was liminal and unknown, about my daily practice of walking, and swimming in the sea throughout the year. I discuss craving community and situating my loneliness within the political, my attempts to declutter and buy less stuff, and my dreams for a post-vaccine future.

DOM BLOWER

“My studio practice combines painting and sculpture (in a range of media and processes) and graphic novels and ‘zines. Within these interdisciplinary approaches, narrative content and formal processes inform and complement each other.

I see my work as a synthesis or fusion between recurring narratives (largely linked to graphic imagery depicting fictional modern mythologies using a comic-book-style iconography) and the mechanics of the physical and formal processes of how to produce work within the traditions of (modern?) Art (today!?) “

CATHY BOWMAN

Volume XXX is a comic anthology for grown-ups. Five short tales of loss, revolution and flying insects that all echo the dystopia of our own, weird times.

It’s an old-skool comic - hand-drawn, lo-tech - a labour of love.

“In my story #notfadeaway, I imagined what it might be like if a 70’s freedom-fighter just, never stopped … I hope folks enjoy it.

There was a cupboard in our house filled with comics that my uncle had left behind when he moved out: Fantastic Four; WHAM!; Out of This World; Suspense. I’d spend hours soaking up the stuff, freaking my kid’s brain out on Tales of Terror.

So, I’ve always loved consuming comics but for some reason it’s taken me decades to get around to making any myself. Now I spend my free moments sweating over a graphic novel & complaining about Photoshop.”

’Hospiprison!’

Travels through the NHS in post Brexit austerity Britain or How to have cancer and not be too much of a dick.

In hospital for cancer treatment. You could watch Homes under the Hammer or you could write a rude diary of the whole thing to keep yourself sane. Careful though, people will ask to read it and it’s not going to be pretty….

“Should be recommended reading for every cancer patient. Turned a sick subject into one long wicked laugh, made even funnier by the brilliant illustrations.” Anon

A modern comic pamphlet of action and art offering alternative solutions to these testing times. How to start a community game changer, How to help, How to manage work bullshit, How to be part of the essential new narrative, How to start an ethical small business etc…
