βTo learn anything we must revitalize arts of noticingβ β Anna Tsing
In this time of separation from the natural world, the first step towards reconnecting is observation and attention. Each of these 5 zines shares a different approach or idea about how and why to hone in on noticing.

From the Great Chain of Being to the Wheel of Rebirth, many cultures have revered humans as exceptional among life on earth. We object! These four zines dismantle the myth of human supremacy and rebuild an ethos of humans-becoming-in-ecological-relationships-just-like-everybody-else. Plus these zines are funny β donβt be afraid to laugh (at the hubris of humanity) π

About Us
We made our first zine during the lock-down of the COVID-19 pandemic when our entire lives seemed to be mediated by screens. We love this medium as a way to interact with something tangible and (truly) sharable.
Our goal is to reimagine and remake our relationships with our more-than-human kin to create a world where we can all thrive together.
