organized by knife // physical zine, black + white, $8

Until It Breaks is a collaborative project between 12 creators, organized by Knife. Many queer publications refuse to accept content that they describe as torture porn. We believe that there is value in telling stories that depict sexual violence, whether it is depicted brutally, romantically, or otherwise. Shying away from difficult topics and restricting the explorations and fantasies of queer people is not helpful, it is only comfortable. For that reason and more, this zine is a celebration of violent fantasy.
