strange region is fundamentally against all forms of racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism and classism. we aim, through our publishing practice, to challenge and disrupt systems of patriarchy, colonialism and white supremacy

 

strange region is solely run by joe vaughan, a white, cis-male

 

he is only able to run the press thanks to financial support from his family in the early days and the continued emotional support of his family and friends

he acknowledges this to dispel any illusion that the successes of strange region can be attributed to his hard work alone

 

we believe that publishing should not be the sole practice of the rich and the lucky

 

if strange region expands to incorporate additional staff or freelancers, staffing decisions and models of shared ownership will be developed with the guiding principle that there is a need to de-centre whiteness, and cis-maleness from both our cultural institutions, and all other institutions outwith

 

strange region supports the total liberation of palestinian people from colonial occupation

our solidarity extends to the people of  all countries where the brutality of colonialism, and free market capitalism is felt

 

we publish because we believe art is good for us
