About
Loom is a new, national interdisciplinary literary journal. Loom will work in conversation with non-textual artistic mediums—both thematically, via longform visual art, music, film, game and theatre criticism; and formally, via the publication of experimental interdisciplinary literary work. With editors in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, Loom aims to be a genuinely national publication—collaborating with artists and organisations across the country.
