FILLER zine @ Somerset House

I found out today that FILLER has been chosen to exhibit at PROCESS! Festival, a festival at Somerset House – co-curated by another of my favourite independent magazines OOMK – in July, celebrating independent artists, collectives and publishers. This’ll be a brilliant opportunity to promote FILLER, make more creative and business connections and gain inspiration from others.

This’ll also teach me more about the curation, engagement and management of arts and publishing events, something I want to start increasing my involvement in after university, and hopefully host my own.
