Issue #4: Electric Scabs

Summer 2023

Electric Scabs is the fourth issue of Dead Peasant, a multidisciplinary art and literary journal that explores the darker and more subversive aspects of human experience. This issue delves into the themes of automation, artificial intelligence, and the replacement of human workers by machines, in a world where labor has become more complex and precarious than ever. Through a collection of thought-provoking visual art, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and photography, Electric Scabs challenges us to confront the uneasy relationship between technology and human labor, and to question what it means to be productive in a post-industrial society

Issue #2: Dog Vision

Summer 2021

Our second issue, and first with a theme! This anthology collection of artists, poets, writers, photographers, interviewers, and working class folk constrained themselves to works inspired by dogs and their perceived lack of color vision.
