The second volume of the Brave Island Zine is out now! You can pick up a your own printed copy from Ventnor Exchange for just £3, or scroll down to read the whole thing online. The zine shines a spotlight on the diverse creativity of young people living on the Isle of Wight, as well as providing an opportunity to share your voice and views on anything.

We celebrated the release of this edition with a special launch event at Boojum & Snark on 25th April. Local music duo Daysi & Luca hosted an open mic which saw young people playing live music, reading poetry, and talking about their creative practice and contributions to the Zine.

Huge thank you our editor, Jasmine Metta Truman for putting the Zine together, and to our other contributors: India Raphael, Gigi Fitz, Scott Martin, Jasmine Metta Truman, Jessica King, Robbie Rose, Poppy Morris, Ana M, Jayden from EarsPeeled Isaac Leal, Kira Lacey, Jett Pon, Nicole O’Farrell and Rosie Johnson

If you would like to have your work published in our next Zine, submissions are now open for Vol 3 – Another Day in Paradise.
