Trash Zine + Links

Daisy Alioto introduces our latest zine. Keep reading for links and our June playlist.

Did you enjoy our Trash series with DRAUP? We sure did.

As I wrote last week, “Trash may be a state of mind, but it resists being a spiritual condition.” And now you can stay in the 🆃🆁🅰🆂🅷 state of mind by owning a piece of our collaboration in print.

The zine features contributions from Rachelle Toarmino, Michelle Santiago Cortés, Nika Simovich Fisher, Daniella Loftus and more and models from across the dirtyverse decked out in digital fashion.

The zine has all of the stories you read in the newsletter plus some behind-the-scenes visuals from the development of the Trash Trench.

54 pages, 6 x 8.75'', SHIPS JUNE 2024.
