Editorial
Bridge’s editorial work brings together criticism, publishing, interviews, essays, books, video, audio, and archival projects that document and support artists, writers, and cultural workers in Chicago and beyond. Across its magazine, journal, books, news, and media platforms, Bridge treats publishing as both a critical practice and a form of artist-centered infrastructure.

Bridge Journal
A project of the artistic collective, unlike the magazine, the Bridge Journal only appears as a hardcover journal until the artistic collective approves its online release. An archive of the work and interests of the Bridge artistic collective, it also represents the efforts of artist members to expand the existing public scholarship in the discipline of their expertise.
Online Magazine
A companion to the print magazine, the Bridge online magazine publishes criticism, interviews, essays, reviews, artist features, and cultural reporting connected to contemporary art, fiction, poetry, performance, publishing, and creative work seasonally from late August to December and late February to June every year. It serves as a living editorial platform for timely writing including reviews and interviews, regional arts coverage, op-eds, essays and ongoing conversations across the cultural field.
Bridge Books
Launched in 2022, Bridge Books was founded with the belief that books are the vascular systems of democracy, delivering the intellectual oxygen required for a body politic to actively, inclusively, effectively self-govern and thrive.
Featured Film: “Zoonomia”
Zoonomia represents an imaginative investigation into how things might have evolved if events had followed a slightly different trajectory, allowing for hybrids of existing organisms, the return of extinct species and unpredictable motivations, interactions and outcomes.
