A group of 麻豆直播 of Technology students and graduates will launch a new print youth magazine called, dotdotdash, in September.
Curtin creative writing honors student Steven Finch said dotdotdash is aimed at getting more young people involved in the Perth arts scene while showcasing the talents of various Curtin Humanities students.
鈥渄otdotdash brings together more than 25 Curtin students and graduates from creative and professional writing, fine arts, public relations, marketing, and graphic design degrees,鈥� said Mr Finch, 23, of Leeming.
鈥淲e鈥檙e all pretty excited to collaborate on this project.鈥�
dotdotdash will be a colourful, quarterly print publication distributed nationally.
鈥淭he idea came about in conversation with my creative writing peers.
鈥淲e thought it was a shame that the Perth youth weren鈥檛 more involved in their arts scene, especially writers.鈥�
Almost $10,000 in funding has already been raised to support the publication which includes a Propelarts YCulture Metro grant of $3,300 and an Express Media Write in Your Face grant of $5,000.
鈥淭he funding is going towards printing costs, creative workshops for emerging artists, and literary nights.鈥�
Curtin鈥檚 Dr Hunn said dotdotdash was an outstanding example of student and graduate ingenuity and persistence.
鈥淚 congratulate them on their passion as this is all being done above and beyond their study, jobs and other commitments,鈥� Dr Hunn said.
鈥渄otdotdash is proving to be a wonderful outlet for them and I can鈥檛 wait to see the finished result.鈥�
