The Invisible College - 5th edition

The Invisible College - 5th edition

Edition five of the Invisible College is now availible. The publication features the artwork of Amanda Sage and Leo Plaw. There is also a three page interview with Leo.

The Invisible College is a publication is dedicated to the emerging cultural forces of our times, and to anchor these cultural groups into perspective within the continuum of the twin streams of the Bohemian & Acadian memes. The magazine came into being about two and half years ago as there seemed to be a serious gap in the magazine/journal world for publications that was tracking and recording what has been evolving in the world of arts and consciousness.

The idea is to present art, poetry, tales, interviews and reviews in such a way to lift consciousness, and to engage the reader to consider alternatives to the current cultural systems that have now peaked and are now in decline. As artist and poets have been in the forefront of the various struggles and movements in society from time out of mind, journals and magazines in recent centuries have become an important part of the documenting process and have served as a focal point and organizing organ of the various aspects of what seems to be transpiring in current times.

The Invisible College evolved out of Earthrites.org and the associated Turfing blog. There was a prototype magazine being developed on Earth Rites, and Turfing is a running social and arts commentary blog. It was Robert Venosa, Martina Hoffmann or maybe Mike Crowley that suggested it should evlove into a pdf magazine. After 2 issues, it went into printing via Lulu.com. It came out rather rapidly at first, and now has slowed down a bit. We are going to keep going with the print on demand situation until we can find funding to print. The Invisible College has had some amazing artist, poets and writers grace its pages. You can go to the Invisible College web page for free downloads of the web versions and also to find a link to order a printed copy of The Invisible College.
