‘002Press In Conversation’ A Zine published by @002press
Available now for purchase upon request
A 50 page hand printed, hand bound booklet that hosts a discussion between @_saint_twin & @artmaps as 002Press.

Our Relationship to Digital and Analog
Negotiation of Influence: The Survival of Desire
Access
Symbols
Forgiveness & Reconciliation
Black ABEX?
Ultimately excavating the complexities of Black experience, histories, vulnerabilities and what shapes the duo and their creative intersectionality.
In the zine they are also prompted to switch mediums, emphasizing their connected praxis through creative activity.
