Novice is thrilled to announce the launch of its debut zine, "Mga Anyo ng Bahagharing Pag-ibig," a visual publication dedicated to celebrating queer love. This inaugural edition features the works of 10 queer artists, each interpreting 10 Filipino words that encapsulate the essence and diversity of queer love in all its fascinating forms.
"We've been planning to create a zine for the longest time, and we couldn't think of a more perfect moment to launch one than during Pride Month. Pride Month is a time for reflection and visibility for the LGBTQIA+ community, and we wanted to contribute something meaningful to this vibrant celebration while championing local creatives," shares Allen Esteban, Novice’s Creative and Managing Director.
