"With quite possibly the most creative freedom the journal has known since it's founding in 1978, our student-led team has worked tirelessly to compile yet another issue of our beloved Existere."
- The Senior Editorial Team's Forenote, Existere Volume 44
Summer 2026: Existere Volume 45
This latest volume of Existere explores the themes of nostalgia and reflection across Canadian perspectives.
Existere consistently aims to challenge and broaden the perception of what it means to be human in today’s world. Our stories provides insight into the state of our political climate and the exploration of self.
Our team implores you, as a reader, to delve into the world of beauty without censorship, restriction, or generative technology, and see the volume as much more than the subject matter, but as a love letter to the perseverance and dedication of creatives worldwide.
Our release features beautiful cover art by Alicia Brest!
Issue 45 presents new fiction, non-fiction, art and poetry pieces by Elle D. Ablo, Carlee Bouillon, Emily Chan, Kevin Chong, Hazel Dang, Dalibor Dejanović, Kate Gies, Solomon Goudsward, Julia Habashy, Katherine Alexandra Harvey, Justine Leonhardt, Jennifer Manuel, Riley Mathieson, and Aarti Patel!
We thank all the talented and devoted individuals who helped make this issue possible.
