Khidr Collective Zine, Issue Five: Holding Joy (pre-order print)

Our long-anticipated fifth issue radiates joy in 128 pages of essays, interviews, recipes, poetry, fiction, photography, collages and illustration. In Issue Five, our contributors hold joy with bursting volume and tender quietness – from sinking your teeth into freshly baked goods to dancing in a smoke-filled room. From joy in the stillness of dawn to the setting of a revolutionary sun. From the joy of collective defiance that blooms within prison walls in anticipation of freedom, to the joy of being alive even when the world insists otherwise. Featuring works from 2022 to 2025, we hope this issue inspires you to hold onto joy just a little bit tighter.
