The music division of Never Apart, NVA, has launched a zine to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Mile Ex art space’s endeavours in the Montreal music scene. Designed by Sultana Bambino, the zine — described as “a collector’s item which showcases iconic rave moments” — features photography by SAAD and Bruno Destombes. All proceeds go to the Native Women’s Shelter.

“This zine represents a glimpse from an entire generation of music lovers, ravers, venues and moments that have helped shape Montreal’s musical underground.”
