An open call for all types of creative work to be featured in a zine by the Transient Zine Collective.

The Transient Zine Collective is a UK based zine collective exploring the human experience and the emotions that shape it.

Founded by Asja Alexandra, a curator and art practitioner with more than five years of experience across exhibitions and art spaces around the world.

Their practice centres on zine making as a way to bring people together, share ideas, and create inclusive, community-driven publishing spaces.

We are looking for all forms of creative work to be featured in our first issue: "Beyond The Dream".

Dreams exist in many forms. They arrive as fleeting images while we sleep: strange, beautiful, unsettling, or impossible.

But they also live within us as hopes, ambitions, and quiet goals we carry through our waking lives. Some dreams vanish by morning, while others stay with us for years, shaping the choices we make and the paths we follow.

This zine by the Transient Zine Collective explores dreams in all their meanings, inviting reflections on the subconscious, imagination, desire, and determination.

This zine is for honouring what moves us, both asleep and awake.

Submissions close on 12 February 2026, and successful submissions will be contacted on 16 February 2026.

There will be an online exhibition on a professional website where everyone is able to see your artwork and also get the chance to pre-order a physical copy by 23 February 2026.

Our final goal is to have physical copies available across different spaces and stores across the UK to be able to grow this collective.
