We would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nations, past, present and future, whose stolen lands we are living and working on today. Sovereignty was never ceded and treaties have never been signed.
About
Verve is an online publication dedicated to promoting emerging talent across all creative disciplines based in Naarm (Melbourne), in so-called Australia. Co-founded by Athina Wilson and Clementine Girard-Foley in late 2017, Verve is now run by Margarita Bassova alongside a team of 10+ magnificent editors that oversee the innovative work that graces the site.
Our vision is to be an accessible medium that publishes varying kinds of artistic expression, particularly honing in on work from underrepresented creatives who are mostly hidden from the attention of mainstream media.
In mid-year 2022 we will be releasing our first print edition of Verve, which will be an opportunity to share a physical artefact of the wondrous artists within our community, while uplifting the original and imaginative grassroots journalism that is at the centre of this project.
