Presented as part of the Global Studio Series, the International Programs & Collaborations Office at OCAD University fosters connections between OCAD U students and partner institutions worldwide. This collaborative initiative features students from OCAD U, Centro Universitário Belas Artes de São Paulo, and RMIT Melbourne in an international, student-led zine. This zine explores where the boundaries between myth and reality blur and how personal narratives, collective histories, and cultural symbols can be reinterpreted through the creative process.
