Ink & Impulse
We’re inviting curious minds, story-driven creators, and lovers of the odd and honest to co-create zines with us.
From star-crossed friends to speculative cities — the zines that shine the brightest are those that blend research, reflection, and imagination. If you’ve got something quirky, layered, or deeply personal you’ve been itching to tell — we’d love to hear from you.
✨ We’re looking for
-
Conceptual ideas with strong storytelling
-
Projects that play with visuals and words
-
Work that connects, questions, or simply delights
-
Artists who are open to discussion and co-developing the zine with us (you keep creative control, we help shape and guide)
🖨️ Format Guidelines:
-
The zine will be printed in Riso, choose up to 2 Riso ink colours (chosen from our 7 available colours)
- Size, length, and folding method of the zine — up to you! As long as it fits into 3 pieces of A3 paper (printable area only)
- Check out our Riso print guide for a clearer understanding of Riso
-
All submission must be original and unpublished.
- Past collaborations for your references.
🚨 Timeline:
- Submission DEADLINE: 30 June 2025
-
Selected artists will be notified by 15 July 2025.
-
Selected artists pay nothing upfront, and are compensated through royalties. A contract will be drafted to outline the collaboration process, rights, and remuneration after selection.
- Once confirmed, we will work together over the span of 6–8 weeks, depending on the zine’s scope. The final deadline for artwork will be set after the agreement is signed.
