ISSUE 04:

BITE 
91 CONTRIBUTORS

JUNE 2025


For Issue 04, we asked artists and writers to reflect on the theme of BITE. Think... feasts, love bites, the way a sentence can sink its teeth into you, food cravings that hit at 3am, sharp comebacks, that thing you almost said but didn’t, dental records, eating your words, food sharing politics, forbidden fruit, and the ways we devour.

BITE is about appetite, impulse, pleasure, danger, and control. The responses we received were playful, raw, tender, and occasionally feral—featuring contributions from 91 creators.

Chomp Chomp.
