Who We AreThe Subway Ride is an all-inclusive publication based in Middletown, CT that recognizes the humanity of the artistic and literary process, prioritizes celebration over criticism, and provides a common space in which individuals with different backgrounds and identities can contribute to a welcoming artistic space.
When we ride the subway, it’s hard not to notice the other people around us. We form an unknowing community, comprised of individuals who might have never met outside of the subway car. Everybody has a different reason for being on it, and different directions when they leave. But onboard, we stand, sit, and lean against each other, sharing the same space and air in a brief moment of unity. This magazine is an attempt to recreate that community through print, giving all individuals, regardless of prior experience with publishing or art, an equal opportunity to get on the subway with us. |
