Nat. Brut (pronounced “nat broot”) is an online journal of art and literature dedicated to advancing inclusivity in all creative fields. Since 2012, it has published two issues annually—as well as folios that collect work at specific intersections of marginalized experiences—bolstering voices that are buried, ignored, or absent from public consciousness. As a home for the playful, the unruly, the formal, and the experimental, by artists who are trained and untrained, Nat. Brut believes in the power of juxtaposing diverging voices to form surprising and unfamiliar connections.
Nat. Brut has carved out a corner of the internet and filled it with style and ingenuity. Its aesthetic is one of fascinating unorthodoxy, gracefully pairing each piece with a Creative Commons image sourced from the depths of cyberspace. This is a magazine that supports its writers and editors at all stages of their careers, providing opportunities for collaboration and creative exchange, and that shows us how to relish what mainstream culture has overlooked or forgotten.
