The premiere issue of Tendrils journal features 63 U.S.-based artists and writers in its print edition. Bringing together the worlds of art and healing, Tendrils explores the theme of “Trauma and the Body” through visual art and short-form literature. A smaller curation of work will be featured on its online edition, tendrilsjournal.com. Each edition features a variety of media and styles, each exploring the various ways trauma is held, manifested, or transmitted in physical form. 

Tendrils is dedicated to fostering healing and sparking conversations around trauma through its journal, as well as in-person events. Tendrils is published annually by Studio Civico, a design consultancy founded by Rebecca Pérez.
