Mule Magazine is a collaborative publication created to record these projects that are occurring on a grassroots, national, and international level. The publication hopes to document and celebrate the world of people who continue making, thinking, and generating. It addresses both the usual and the unusual with a thoroughness perhaps overlooked by traditional media by mixing creative theory with contemporary culture.

The magazine started in 2002 as a project between three undergrad students at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga, selling ads door to door, to fund the first issue’s printing. Since its conception, the project it has involved over a dozen different designers, a gaggle or so of contributing artists, and a cast of writers, all collaborating toward the magazine’s output. Since 2002, we've spread- from Tennessee to Georgia, Chicago, New York, and China. As a result, the magazine’s content is as varied as its contributors’ locations. We try to focus on southeastern projects as well as midwestern, and anything that might filter through or roam between. We're a regional publication in the sense that we focus on what's around us as we roam about.

Issues include a collage of local music reviews, write-ups, interviews, and features with both emerging and established musicians and visual artists. There are fashion spreads of conceptual clothing, poetry and writing from across the board, and interviews with anyone who might have a new perspective to offer. . .

"When something is happening- when people are creating, either by themselves or as a community, it only feels right to document. To document not only what is happening, but how and why it is happening."
