Welcome to our fourth and final seasonal zine! We may occasionally publish themed zines in the future but it will be more sporadic and less tied to the time of year than our work over the past four seasons. We end our journey with summer, which is typically a slightly easier time of year for people who enjoy sunshine and find their mood lifted by warm weather.

However, we’ve noticed that there is a darkness to this summer. For many of us, the change of season hasn’t brought as much relief and comfort as it sometimes does. Life can be challenging, even in the most beautiful of seasons. In the midst of hard times, we may find ourselves longing for the summers of childhood, when things felt simpler and the world felt a little brighter.

Our idea for this zine is quite different from zines in the past; rather than relying heavily on written explanations, this edition is mostly visual and experiential. We designed it as a kind of virtual scavenger hunt for you to enjoy some peace, have fun, and connect with your inner child in both lighthearted and more serious ways. Welcome to The Park.
