Dear readers,

From March 28th, 2024, we will be going on hiatus. The team will be putting out a more thorough piece about our thoughts and feelings at the end of the month, but for now we’d love to celebrate these last weeks with you.

Ka kite The Pantograph Punch
x

Today we’re sitting down with contributor and Pal
@itsmekhadro.bsky.social to talk art, essays, and why the Pantograph is the people’s media.

The Pantograph Punch has no corporate sponsors, which lets us publish articles you won’t get anywhere else. Support us here: pantograph-punch.com/pals

THANK YOU TO ALL THESE PEOPLE WE FREAKING LOVE YOU MORE THAN WE CAN SAY!!!!! LONG LIVE ARTS PUBLISHING

Thank you to all these mfkin people who have joined us as Pals and contributed to our platform this year!!! The list is more than one slide long so we know there's MANY of you to thank pantograph-punch.com/pals

Rounding off 2023 with a phenomenal thank you to over 160 people (or something incredulous) who have joined us as Pals this year by donating to our platform, as a one-off gift to us or as a monthly contribution. We can't thank you enough. We're off for now – kia pai ngā hararei, see you in 2024 bb!

If you support what we do and want to give thanks for Kirihimete — link below pantograph-punch.com/pals

Pay it forward any amount and any number of ways to keep a good thing going — donate via pantograph-punch.com/pals and encourage your friends to join us as a Pal and donate to journals like ours, Contemporary Hum
Bad Apple, and more as the indie lit girls, theys and gays roll up our sleeves for 2024

Our storytellers are some of our most important leaders and truth-tellers. They deserve platforms who can hold their stories with care. We need as many hands as we can get to help us along the way and keep honouring the power of our platform.

But let’s be honest arts media is so so freaking undervalued when it comes to public funding. Arts publishing is struggling in Aotearoa from longtime underinvestment and precarious environments as evidenced in CNZ-commissioned New Mirrors report

Arts media is so so important to the stories we see and share, to fostering critical thinking in an apocalyptic world, protecting cultural knowledges, reaching and connecting ideas together and sowing the seeds of more creative futures — pantograph-punch.com/pals

It takes considerable investment to sustain a platform, and Pantograph are no exception to the rule in terms of the time, labour and operation costs we need to run it all behind the scenes pantograph-punch.com/pals

Hey! Do you appreciate the work The Pantograph Punch does and the space we occupy in the arts and media landscape?? Consider becoming a Pal and paying it forward! pantograph-punch.com/pals

Today we've got something bloody HUGE for you whānau, something we've been carving out all year: our Carving Space special issue.

We're going to be dropping pieces over the next three months, so keep your knives sharp and your eyes on our feed.
