What forms of solidarity emerge when official systems no longer feel enough?

CORRUPT is a collective writing and publishing trajectory developed by Rural Relations Writing Group between January and March 2026. Across two online writing sessions and a final publication-making gathering at KIOSK Rotterdam, participants moved from reading and discussion into collective writing, editing, and risograph printing.

Together, these texts became tools to think through post-socialist rural life, migration, informal economies, intimacy, and the quiet systems people build to support one another outside institutional recognition.

The resulting zine aims to hold fragments of an ongoing collective process. You can browse it here.
