Who are we?
We’re Also Cool! An arts and music online mag, event series, radio show on N10.as & FSR, and a podcast (Also Cool Sounds Like).
Founded by artists, for artists, we created this platform as an accessible space for creatives at all levels of their careers to showcase their talent, and to get published! Also Cool allows artists to express themselves, highlight social issues, and to support their communities.
Also Cool was founded by Malaika Astorga and Zoë Argiropulos-Hunter in 2019, and launched in 2020. Also Cool is now a volunteer team of five queer femmes, and is based in Montreal and Ottawa, Canada.
