About this Event
This workshop explores alternative models for music and cultural criticism in an era when legacy publications continue to downsize and disappear. Independent magazines like Orange Crate and worker-owned collectives such as Hearing Things and New Eyes are reviving older models of cultural journalism and criticism.
Built around the ideals of shared ownership, collaborative editing, and creative freedom, these projects treat arts and culture writing as a public good—not just a personal brand or corporate asset.
Logan Unsen: creator/editor of Orange Crate, an independent arts/culture magazine in Philadelphia
Julianne Escobedo Shepherd: editor at Hell Gate and co-founder of Hearing Things, both writer-owned collectives
Dylan Green: co-founder of Hearing Things and founding member of New Eyes, another writer’s collective
Shamira Ibrahim: editor of the Liner Notes companion ‘zine and also a founding member of New Eyes
