About the Magazine

Founded in 2023 | ?

Words are worlds. manywor(l)ds, as a project, embraces the worldmaking possibilities and practices of language in all its forms. A genreless space, manywor(l)ds hosts the work of creators whose relationships to embodimindment, to sex(uality), to gender, and to a constellation of factors surrounding these concepts, face marginalization and erasure. We want to know how you wayfind, or how you refuse to. We want to see work that plays by its own rules, or plays by no rules at all. We celebrate blurriness and obfuscation as radical strategies. We do not define genres and we do not define you. We want projects crafted Madly, on crip time, in queer space, of trans genre. Or something like that. We want work that prefigures the worlds we want, and, in this weird little space, makes them manifest.
