PLEASURE Unrecognized

Mission Statement
PLEASURE is an art collective, as well as its flagship curated art and literature magazine with a focus on cultural esoterica and the avant-garde. We publish divergent, often provocative material drawing from as wide a range of contributors as possible and aim to create a sort of cultural incubator from which to draw inspiration for ideas that are then filtered through the lenses of music, the fine arts, writing, and contemporary philosophy. We intend to publish the magazine on a regular basis (at least one large issue a semester) as well as organize various cultural events, among them art shows and live performances of all stripes. We thus differ from Hampshireís other art and literature publications in that we cross-pollinate among fields of study (orthodox and unorthodox alike) and place a premium on artistic expression that transcends the bounds of the stringently college-focused.
