Social Forms of Art Journal



SoFA Journal is a publication dedicated to supporting, documenting, and contextualizing social forms of art and its related fields and disciplines. Through interviews, each issue looks at the ways in which artists and non-artists engage with communities, institutions, and the public. The interviews that I contribute are with people who do or think about things that I want to know more about, ranging from a professional letter writer for the federal government to a street librarian. 

Issues of the journal are digitally published three times a year and are free to read online. I also design and publish print versions and mail them to interviewees; I consider each person I interview to be a lifetime subscriber and they receive a copy of each new issue.
