WHAT IS THE VOID?
WHAT DO we DO?
We keep an events calendar and show posters updated on our website to inform locals on upcoming shows and events.
We interview artists and musicians.
We capture audio and video from live sets/music events around town.
We publish the work of local artists on our website and in our quarterly zine!
We form events to celebrate the release of each zine and to create opportunities for artists who contributed to our zine to meet each other in person and engage with their community.
OUR TEAM
My name is Haley Steinkamp. I created The Void in 2022 when I stumbled on the Kalamazoo DIY scene. It was the same year I graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in journalism.
Zola Crow films the interviews we post on @thevoidzoo's YouTube. She graduated from WMU in 2023 with a degree in film and Spanish.
Tyler Josephine Berg films the live sets we post on @thevoidzoo YT
The events calendar and show posters are maintained by Juan Gaviria. He also edits the audio for our live sets and keeps our Bandcamp up to date. Juan moved to Kalamazoo in 2020 to be involved with the local music scene.
We are donation-based and hold fundraising events and sell zines to keep this project afloat.
OVERVIEW
The Void is meant to host anything you throw at it. Any creative work you wish to share can happily coexist with the creative work of others in our community. We often are the first publishing location for a lot of local artists. We operate as a website and publication primarily but we also serve as a connector for creatives in Kalamazoo. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
