GULLS Commune is the tiniest of presses, founded by Julie Smirnova in the autumn of 2023. Based in Paris with roots in Dublin and friends all over the world. 

It’s where birds of all sorts come to rest. Human birds. Bird birds. Song birds. Love birds. Birds that spend their lives in migration, and birds that stay put. There’s no bird that isn’t welcome in the Commune, so long as the bird looks after other birds where it can and lives for worlds that are full of shared nests.

Our zines are self-published and free to read online with limited print runs in support of solidarity-based organisations. So far GULLS Commune has supported Soul Food Paris, Les Midis du Mie, and Doctors Without Borders. 

The point of GULLS Commune is just to remind us to make things, share ourselves with others, and get together when we can. 

Right now, submissions are open for MESH.
