A Voice from the Beyond
Litreacha x Good Day Cork present a brand new zine for Spring 2025
21st April 2025
Good Day Cork welcomes Em & Louis from Litreacha as Guest Editors for 2025!
🎤 Our guest editors have curated a zine with the theme of VOICE: loud voices, soft voices, suppressed voices, rough voices, melodic voices, voices in the wind, voices of change, using your voice for good…. 💪 As part of Good Day Cork’s ethos, they sought for voices that typically go unheard in our society. Namely members of ethnic or cultural minority groups, people living with visible or invisible disabilities, the LGBTQ+ community, people of colour and anyone who experiences systemic inequality or discrimination.
Em and Louis write tender letters to the readers of this issue.
Em says, “We’re celebrating female voices, queer voices, neurodivergent voices.”
Louis says, “I hope these stories resonate with anyone who feels unheard during these trying times.”
Joanna founder of Good Day Cork explains, “This issue of our zine is gentle and assertive. It’s a balm. I applaud the work that team Litreacha have put in to curate this zine. Buy the zine. Support unheard voices and build a softer world.”
📝 The zine features illustration, spoken word and poetry. Postal order now available. Orders close on 15th May 2025. Price: €12.50 – incl shipping within Republic of Ireland.
