Current Issue: The Power of Public Art
Issue #5 - August 2026
The idea for this issue came from Ryan Wheelbarrow, our resident contributor and one of the most knowledgeable voices on public art in Miami.
In this issue: Tiana Traffas and her street art zine, part manifesto, part instruction manual, rooted in feminism and the conviction that public space belongs to everyone. Fanzine Puerto Rico with the story of Entre Café, Música y Arte, seventeen years of community culture built in a public square in Mayagüez. Megan Roth descending forty feet below the surface of the Atlantic in her column Only Fins. And an interview with Morazul, a Colombian artist who has been painting the streets of cities across Latin America and now Miami for twenty years, and has a lot to say about what walls are really for.
We also welcome Serci Cox as a new resident contributor, a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores joy, self-expression, and healing through unforgettable women characters and color as a language all its own.
Nice meeting you!

The Last Margaret Keane
Available in Spanish & English
"This experimental novel captures the complexity of the creative mind and the internal struggles associated with the pursuit of self-acceptance and love. With reflections on culture, music, and memories, Brown’s work is a visceral journey through self-discovery and authenticity, illustrating that each thought and word is a crucial step toward understanding who we truly are."
