ABOUT THE BLOG

This is a space to share anything formal, funny, frantic or fictional with the rest of the Northern bubble. The blog could include everything and anything: articles, interviews, poems, guides, reflections or even better, something that we haven’t yet thought of. I am especially interested in using the blog to recognize everyone at Northern as equals and as artists. (Maybe ambitious, but if it can happen anywhere, I think it’s probably here). It is open to everyone who wants to share, suggest or just try something different and it is never too late to get involved.
