Something to Look Forward to (2023)

Something to Look Forward to was first created in 2021 for lovers of artist books and zines, as our way to send gifts to the mailboxes of you and yours during cold winter months. These gifts are for everyone, so we're offering subscriptions at a sliding scale with multiple options–so you can support Sixty at whatever level you can. Get one for someone you love, then be sure to subscribe for yourself.

In this year's iteration, Sixty's editors offer an anthology that includes interviews, poems, prose, images, testimonials, experimental writings, and open letters on land + ecology, art + horror, liberation + care, Midwest life + aesthetics, and more. Through a selection of articles from the past seven years, each issue revisits beloved and memorable conversations of the recent past and connects them to conversations being had today.

The project features Sixty writers, photographers, and illustrators, as well as artists across our communities, with contributions from Carris Adams, Emily Breidenbach, Amanda Dee, Ally Fouts, Morgan Green, Ryan Griffis, Jessica Hammie, Kyra Horton, Imani Joseph, carrie kaufman, Kristie Khans, Analú M. López, Abena Motaboli, Hương Ngo, Rise, Amina Ross, Chaz Shermil Hodges, Tesh Silver, Maya Simkin, Livy Snyder, Persephone Van Ort, and more.

The series is co-edited by Chenoa Baker, Ireashia M. Bennett, Tempestt Hazel, Nadia John, S. Nicole Lane, Annette LePique, Christina Nafziger, and Riley Yaxley. The writing and photography of the project editors are also included in some issues.
