COLLIDE LITERARY MAGAZINE

Collide is a collaborative project born out of the idea of providing the intimate art of spoken word poetry and open mic culture with a larger stage. It is made by creatives, for creatives, with the objective of bringing visual creators and writers together in a unique and exciting way that permanently records their stories.


Writers and visual artists who apply are matched with a partner for one spread of the zine, and if they are interested, can create new work based on each other’s concepts.


Collide is proud to be a staple in several local Philadelphia bookstores, and seeks to open doors for creatives; not just by publishing their work but also by hosting events, gallery shows, and art markets across the greater Philadelphia area. Keep up with our latest events via Instagram or Eventbrite.
