Weed magazine - issue 01: earth

Weed — A New Magazine of Queer Art and Ecological Entanglements

First 100 copies will be stamped and numbered

Created and edited in the UK, Weed is an artist-led, independent and limited-run print publication that celebrates artists, writers and thinkers working at the fertile edges of queerness and ecology – in all its (im)possible entanglements, ramifications and promiscuous touching.

Boldly styled and visually rich, the first issue is dedicated to earth — featuring interviews and visual work by a wide range of international queer voices who engage with land, matter, decay, growth and resistance.

Weed is an urgent and sensual response to a world in flux — messy, honest, and defiantly alive.

Weed is rooted in resistance, intimacy, and wildness.

🌱 Issue 01: Earth
100 pages / printed in the UK / limited print run
Printed on beautiful uncoated, FSC-certified paper

Weeds are the queerest of plants, they grow everywhere, unwanted, prickly, colourful, playful, necessary, weird and wonderful.

This first issue is dedicated to earth in all its expanded meanings, as soil, mud, dirt, planet Earth, cruising, body as landscape, trees and forests, food production, sex and much more.

This issue brings together queer artists from different parts of the world, working across sculpture, performance, food, installation, photography, audio, film, animation, design and writing - all linked to the theme of earth in its many forms and meanings.
