This is a magazine about why we get so attached to art.
Take a comfort show, an indie film, a tight 12-track playlist (for a crush), and a character whose personality you adopted as your own. Add a few core memories, some close attachments, some strong smells, and you have the singular narrative of who you are.
Love Interests wants to explore that narrative. We want to know everything about you. We publish the beloved, wretched, amusing, fantastical stories that remind us why we need art, and how we use it to make sense of our lives.
We’re a social-purpose publication. We host free arts and writing workshops in local communities, helping people spin the media that shaped them into creative works of their own, and publishing zines that preserve intergenerational neighbourhood stories. The strongest pieces jump from local editions into our main international issue. We also give back to the planet, because without a healthy world, there are no stories left to tell.
And we are still in our humble beginnings! If the work we do speaks to you, and you want to be part of it, say hi. We're friendly. [email protected]
There are many ways to work with us. If you want to become a stockist, sponsor an issue, collaborate on an event, lead a workshop, submit your work, or have an idea we haven't thought of yet, we'd love to hear from you. For general enquiries email: [email protected]
