SOVO// Magazine is an art collective and creative platform established in Los Angeles in 2018.
SOVO// believes that ideas and creative innovation often originate in surprising or overlooked places. Our ethos centers on ingenuity and engagement; we aim to inspire, encouraging introspective considerations on the nature of being, and to help our readers discover surprising perspectives of themselves and the world around them. SOVO// seeks an inclusive community prioritizing underrepresented demographics.
Our signature production is the quarterly limited edition print magazine which comes in a unique acrylic packaging, and is tailored to a theme or topic of interest. Experimental format and printing techniques allow the viewer to feel the magazine itself as an artistic experience. SOVO// only publishes original photography shot on film, and all offset printing is undergone in Los Angeles. To date, we have used (and featured) 35mm, 120 and 4×5 film, 600 and FP-100c instant film, and stills from Super 8, 16mm, and VHS. While no two editions are alike, all reflect the internal process of the individual’s personal exploration to self-express and the resulting ability to curate your life. To celebrate and share this creative output, each issue release is accompanied by an immersive event.
In addition to these tangible publications, SOVO// hosts an ever-expanding online platform, manages a private collection of fine art, and offers an annual writers residency and biannual first time solo shows for emerging artists. Growth and learning through development and healing are core to our frame of approach. For us, the autonomy of the artist is precious and desperately needs a place where it can unfold to its full, most beautiful, and most authentic potential. We aim to facilitate the visionary, risky, breathtaking, life-changing, and incendiary ideas that might not find support elsewhere.
