VOL 3 OPEN CALL ⚡️🌀
Submissions are now open for the next edition of The Rig Issue 🖤
We’re continuing to build a space that documents and supports the underground rave and soundsystem scene through creative work from within it. If you’ve been thinking about contributing, this is your chance.
We’re interested in work that reflects the culture in all its forms whether that’s visual, written, musical or something harder to define.
Whether you’ve contributed before or are completely new, we’d love to hear from you
You can submit something you’ve already made or use this as a reason to create something new.
Link in bio to apply 📎✨
Aiming to release this summer ☀️
—
we appreciate all supports shares to stories and reposts the success of the magazine relies on the community sharing this and supporting. send to all your friends in the scene who may have something to submit.
The physical copies have arrived 🖤
Catch us in London this weekend at a very special party to grab your copy in person.
Online orders will open after the weekend for everyone else 💌
Prices:
Standard - £7.50
Low income / contributor price available just ask 🫶
If you’re able to pay standard, it really helps support the zine as printing costs are higher this time due to being double the size of the previous zine. That said, we’ll always offer lower cost copies for anyone struggling or who helped bring this zine to life 💖
Such a lovely weekend of stalls !! 🫶🏻 was so nice to be back out again, meeting so many people who support the magazine, as well as people wanting to get involved and meeting contributors we’ve featured already <3
Also loved doing a joint stall for both events & getting to work alongside such amazing creatives @damaged.retina@through_the_looking_beads definitely wanna do more stalls like this going forward !!!
Huge thank you to @grit.collective23@smk_sound_system@odyssey_sound_system for having us down
If you didn’t catch us this weekend… you might see us next weekend at a very special party 👀 ifykyk
