About
Hoodie Mag is a professional arts publishing project. It is an Australian production, but also engages with and presents international artists and activists. At Hoodie Mag we believe young artists should be viewed through an aesthetic lens, rather than a biographical one. The young artists presented in this mag are naturally talented, despite their emerging experience and expertise, and deserve creative and critical attention - just like any artist.
The title of this mag reflects the publications rebellious nature. The hoodie (slang for hooded sweatshirt) is often worn by and associated with young people. This association is not always a positive one. Hoodie Mag presents a group of young artists who are challenging cultural and art world stereotypes.
The inaugural edition of the mag was shortlisted in the 60th Annual Australian Publisher Association’s Book Design Awards for Best Designed Specialist Illustrated Book 2012. It also received a finalist nomination for the Best New Publication for and by young people under 30 in the Express Media Literary Book Awards in December 2011.
