About

Purple is to Lavender is a literary and cultural zine that aims to bring women of color in the arts from margin to center. We want to provide a platform that gives voice and visibility to women of color because we have been rendered invisible in the arts as a result of exclusionary practices in the arts.

Purple is to Lavender (PITL) only accepts and publishes work by women of color. We understand that womanhood is not homogenous and when we use the term, "women of color", it is intended to include cis women, trans women, and any self-identifying women who also identify as Black/African descent, Asian, Latinx (Mixed, Black, and Indigenous), or Indigenous. When we say, "women of color in the arts", we want it to be understood that our zine will not solely feature visual artists. The arts includes: visual arts, performing arts, and literature.
