RECESS

RECESS is a teen-run print and online zine archive for zines about current events, pertinent histories, personal stories, and almost anything else. We use art and writing as necessary expression; our art speaks for us.

We believe that storytelling is an effective mode of promoting understanding. RECESS offers a platform for teens to express themselves and tell their stories.

We strive to highlight youths’ personal and emotional reactions to broader modern societal issues and display art and poetry as cathartic expressions. RECESS speaks directly to the viewer through nostalgic and familiar imagery and writing. RECESS is sentimental to both the makers and the viewer.
