La chaise jaune is a Tentacular collective making, editing, designing and publishing zines. We exist in between London and Lausanne (CH) since 2020. We propose projects or get projects proposed to us, and we collaborate as much as possible and with people from different backgrounds, without any limitation. With the zine we want to tell, to create and to propose new ways to be.

Artizine UK is run by Ioana Simion, a community artist and educator based in East London. She creates welcoming zine-making spaces where people can share stories, develop imaginative art skills, and practice well-being. Since 2019, Ioana has collaborated with arts organisations and galleries to deliver workshops that celebrate the joy of making and the beauty of process.

Lira Lavix pushes the boundaries of artistic, aesthetic, and emotional extremes. Her sound is an evolution of music born from a deep desire for social change, blending her love for the LGBTQ+ community with her commitment to activism. Drawing heavy inspiration from the ‘80s new wave and new romantic movements while incorporating modern electro pop and experimental electro, she defines her style as ‘dark electronica’. Through powerful beats and socially-conscious lyrics, Lira Lavix continues to carve her unique space in the music world, where sound and identity converge in an unapologetic celebration of individuality and empowerment.
