We are happy to announce the 5th edition of Wobby Wonderland! This year our cozy fair will take place in collaboration with and during Murf/Murw Festival. Wobby Wonderland is a DIY publishing & printed matter fair, where independent publishers, artists and collectives sell their publications, zines, art prints and other printed matter.

Wobby #38 is co-curated by Sunflower Soup, a collective that explores collaborative action through art and activism. This issue will have you questioning the place of plants in our so-called ‘natural hierarchy’. What is our role as the human species in shaping nature? Is it hubris to think that we should? Do we think we are above nature, or are we merely a part of this ever-evolving system?
