On this episode of the HOPE not hate podcast, Nick sits down with the Editor of Joyzine, Paul Maps, to talk about a forthcoming fundraising campaign that Paul and his team are running to raise money for HOPE not hate.
Joyzine is an independent zine that covers music, film, books, art and theatre, and it has a real activist element directly at its heart.
Next weekend, Joyzine will be celebrating its 20th birthday with a two layer event at The Old Library in New Cross. Across two stages over the Saturday and the Sunday, there will be artists performing from a variety of genres, with the things uniting them being a strong independent spirit and a message of solidarity and unity.
On the episode, Paul takes us back to the origins of Joyzine, what the driving ethos is and the relationship between music and activism, before giving us a full run down of the weekend along with a sneak preview of what is sure to be an incredible 4 part compilation album which will also be raising funds for HNH.
To close out the conversation, Paul gives us some recommendations for some artists to check out.
A big thank you to Paul and everyone at Joyzine for all their efforts with this amazing project.
