'Between Us'
A Zine Series
'Between Us' is CNTR’s ongoing zine series dedicated to amplifying the stories, perspectives, and creative expressions of survivors whose voices are too often overlooked or silenced. Through writing, poetry, visual art, photography, and other forms of creative expression, this project offers a space for survivors to share their truths on their own terms — without pressure, expectation, or a need to explain their pain. The submissions also don't have to be about their pain, survivors are more than just that experience and identity.
Vol. 1
Winter 2025
Voices Unheard: Volume I (Winter 2025) marks the inaugural release of CNTR’s survivor-led zine series, bringing together a powerful collection of creative expressions from survivors across disciplines. Featuring drawings, photography, poetry, creative writing, artist statements, and dance works with linked video performances, this volume honors the many ways survivors tell their stories beyond words. Volume I stands as a testament to creativity as care and expression as a vital part of the healing journey.
VOLUME 2 COMING APRIL 2026!
*We are currently taking submissions for our second zine installment*
This volume explores the lived experiences of women and femmes in music and the entertainment world and what it looks like to create, perform, and survive in an industry built on exposure, hierarchy, and image.
Submissions do not have to be about your trauma, while there is a specific theme for this installment our zines always remain a space for survivors to share their work and exist as creatives and their other chosen identities first.
To submit your work or reach out with any questions you may have please email:
