About

Soft Stir is an independent, Sydney-based publication examining art, music, culture, and philosophy through the eyes of emerging Australian creatives.

It’s a platform for reflection, experimentation and creative expression.

We facilitate an inclusive space for emerging artists and writers to share their work, stories, and explore pressing topics through both their own practice and through the lens of each  issues’ theme.

Our goal is to strengthen cultural and creative networks in the Australian community, and provide opportunity for cross-disciplinary creative expression and topical critique.

Thinking Loud



Soft Stir acknowledges the ancestral owners of the unceded lands, oceans and skies around which we work, reflect and create. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. Always was, always will be.
