Stomach Full

A New Zine by Rachael Young

25.01.22

Like many artists, lockdown put a stop to all my live performances, it became impossible to get into a physical space with collaborators. Whilst this was frustrating it all also gave Rachael an opportunity to think outside the box, to redirect my practice away from the labour of live performance.

An opportunity to breathe, to dream. It was in this space, away from the noise of toxic productivity, that Stomach Full was born… An opportunity to experiment with the written form, to collaborate with some brilliant artists and carve out space for collective joy.

Commissioned by New Queers on the Block in 2020, the zine was launched in 2021 and you can find it here: Stomach Full >
