For ordinary,
extraordinary
people.

As male, cis-het voices continue to dominate the news and cultural media both online and offline, Ash is a space reserved for those of us who do not enjoy equal representation.

Each issue of Ash presents a relatable, honest and uplifting conversations on a common theme, presented alongside stunning, often politically charged art, illustration and poetry. The result is a beautiful, thoughtful magazine that endures.

We came to life in 2018 via a Kickstarter campaign funded by hundreds of people who wanted to read an independent magazine that speaks to them.

With a focus on feminism, body positivity and gender, Ash advocates for all underrepresented groups, addressing inequality across the board. 
 

We’re independent, ad-free and fiercely intersectional, driven by the desire to offer a more genuine perspective.

As well as addressing representation, instigating conversation and raising awareness for causes close to our hearts, we aim to inspire real world action via our events and fundraising. To date we have donated to UN Women, Sistah Space, Bloody Good Period and Sister Supporter.

We’re passionate about exploring feminism, race, gender and identity, the environment, mental health, activism and social justice from an intersectional standpoint.

We recognise the under-representation in the media of women, people of colour, disabled people, the queer community and those outside of the gender binary. As such, in an effort to redress the balance, we welcome submissions only from people whose lived experiences fall within those groups. We don’t publish work by cis-gendered men.

Ash is published on paper manufactured from recycled, FSC certified 100% post-consumer waste, in accordance with ISO certified standards for environmental, quality and energy management.
