Fuse (magazine)

Fuse was a Canadian arts and culture magazine published from 1976 to 2012. It was known for its critical analysis of contemporary art, media, and social issues, often from a leftist, feminist, and anti-racist perspective.

The magazine was founded in Toronto by a collective of artists and activists. Its early focus was on community arts, but it gradually expanded its scope to include a wider range of topics, including identity politics, globalization, and environmentalism. Fuse aimed to provide a platform for underrepresented voices and to challenge mainstream cultural narratives.

Throughout its run, Fuse featured articles, reviews, interviews, and artwork by a diverse group of contributors. It was considered an important voice in Canadian cultural discourse and was influential in shaping debates around art and social justice. The magazine ceased publication in 2012 due to financial difficulties. The archives of Fuse are a valuable resource for researchers interested in Canadian art, culture, and social activism.
