Period Zine – Issue 11

Period Zine Issue 11 (the Home Issue) is available now on loremnotipsum.com.

Home. A noun.
But also a person. A place. A feeling.
Or all of them, all at once.
For some, it’s a shelter. For others, a memory.
For a few, it’s never been found.
It can be comfort and belonging, but also the opposite.

In the 11th issue of Period., thirteen women explore what home means to them. Through photography, illustration, and words, they shape stories that are both intimate and universal.

Founded by Lena Modigh, Period. is an independent, ad-free magazine from Stockholm. Not about periods — but about themes that linger. Created entirely by women, but not only for them. Every issue is a quiet act of observation. A soft commentary. A space for interpretation. Thought-provoking, if you let it be.

Period Zine is a limited edition magazine from Sweden. It was founded by Lena Modigh that unapologetically focuses on the contemporary female narrative by female-only contributors. Period is an independent magazine, without any advertising, not about periods, but about intriguing and interesting themes. For each issue, photographers, illustrators and writers, interpret the themes freely. Like the previous issues all the contributors are female, but anyone can relate. It’s not just for women, but by women. “When thinking of space it’s easy to imagine wide open space: empty, minimal and peaceful spaces,” Stockholm-based photographer and Period. founder Lena Modigh explains. “But there’s also personal space, crowded space, gendered space, virtual.” The zine covers the gamut. There’s a profile on 1940s graffiti pioneer Martha Cooper dousing public space in spray paint, an American criminologist’s account of starting a commune in east London and an essay on isolation by writer Yasmine Ganley. There’s collages of cloudscapes and close ups of crotches.” – Georgie Wright i-D online.
