Failsafe Zine - Kickstarter Launch
A handbook about creative failure, made for and by emerging artists looking for solidarity and their first paid commissions.
We're starting this zine and creative community to support young people working their way into the competitive creative world - and we want you to be a part of it.
What exactly are we making?
When you’re starting out, there are a million things that can make a creative career feel impossible. Institutional barriers make psychological barriers even harder to navigate.
And, when we're constantly bombarded by people’s achievements on Instagram, it can be so easy to fall into an unhelpful cycle of comparison. Only seeing other’s successes can be more paralysing than it is inspiring.
Failure, on the other hand, is honest, humanises people, and makes the 'impossible' seem so much more achievable.
That’s why our zine is going to be dedicated to showcasing and embracing failure, to remind ourselves that even the best artists can mess up.
It doesn’t matter how many times you’re told that 'failure is part of the process' - we need to see it to really believe it.
Here's some of the content that we want to bring you:
