Wander and Wonder Creative is an independent design and craft studio founded in 2018, with the mission to seek out underreported stories and overlooked narratives; gaining international recognition with its award-winning PLATES Magazine series, which carries four titles to date. Staying true to its founding core values of human rights, social justice, decolonisation of narratives and knowledge, and collective movement for change, the studio has since created a new range of title series as well as experimented with manual zine-making techniques, playing with everyday objects and material waste to invite readers to wander, wonder and explore beyond the pages.
