Means is a quarterly magazine dedicated to underground, experimental arts and culture, with each issue exploring a different social, ecological, or political theme. Why we love it.... Means is dedicated to amplifying the voices of emerging and underrepresented artists. Through a blend of grassroots art, music, and culture, it offers a thoughtful perspective that invites readers to challenge, reflect, and engage with new ideas. What's inside? Issue 5 confronts the theme of dissonant laws. Helen Benton’s striking screen prints reframe feminine iconography through a bold lens. Avantgarde Festival in Northern Germany stands as a powerful example of community-driven art, music, performance, and spontaneous collaboration, while Rochelle Asquith’s work offers an examination of the moral codes embedded in working-class northern culture.
