Through sequential narratives, two zines respond to the visceral effect of music on mind and body.

1. MAQSOOD-I-KAINAAT Shreyas R. Krishnan Through the music of Sufi singer Abida Parveen, this comic ruminates on what belief means to an atheist, and the connections between drawing, movement, and prayer.

2. WHERE EVERYTHING MUSIC Diana H. Chu Inspired by a Rumi poem and the now-defunct Baltimorean band “Sun Club”, these spreads are part of a wordless experimental comic that describes a concert experience. To lose yourself to a group of strangers in a dark room and channel the same moment-to-moment energy is not only exhilarating but life-affirming. Egos fall away. Posturing and identity are sidelined. Everything is music and community.
