Bus Stop Goths – 2x Artist Commissions

Brief: As part of the Bus Stop Goths project, we are creating a zine, celebrating the local spots and third spaces in our home areas that goths and alternative youth have claimed as theirs. We have known these spots to have always been here, but does it span the ancients? Bus Stop Goths reimagines these spaces and the communities who reside there as mythic and folkloric. We are interested in artists who would like to celebrate the heritage of these spaces with a fantasy/otherworldly twist.
