About the Project
New Mythologies was born out of a need and desire to create and realise our collective stories. Using a lens of intersectional feminism, New Mythologies is a method of exploring the unconscious mind and it’s potential for healing.
By rewriting our Mythologies we explore our dreams, grief and potential for a new world that is rooted in togetherness and cross movement allyship. It is an exercise in world building as we co-write, edit and trust each other with the enormous vulnerability that is part of the creative space.
Our stories are meant to be told.
This archive is a promise and a manifesto for our futures and pasts.
