Pastries and Other Things History Has Tried To Choke Us With by Margaryta Golovchenko

I don’t reme mber much of who I was before I was reborn. We hope that through this collection you will be able to escape from-and reflect on-the futures, pasts, and presents of our world and those beyond. In this volume, we include many of our favourite topics: fungal renaissance, fairy resistance, post-god cyborgs, family, identity, and connection. We have chosen to promote sci-fi and fantasy genres of art that subvert its classic tropes and reimagine the world without hetero-patriarchal and colonial violence.

These genres that have had no qualms representing western dreams of colonial expansion and have allowed for the objectification and exploitation of femme characters. One of our main intentions in compiling this mag is to highlight the work of marginalized writers, whose perspectives have historically been left out of canonical sci-fi and fantasy.

We have curated this collection based on our perspectives as queer, (cyber-)feminist, and anti-colonial femmes.
