Lefthand Society announced its first zine entitled “Celebrate Destruction Vol.1” which was filled by 20 contributing artists from various cities in Indonesia. Celebrate Destruction is a new program from Lefthand Society which operates in the realm of print and physical publication. This program was motivated by the idea of how to create a creative ecosystem that is able to build relationships among fellow artists and become a forum for artists and creative workers to express their work in the form of physical publication. Hence the creation of “Celebrate Destruction”.
Celebrate Destruction is defined as a form of celebration for the destruction of all forms of problematic life that is currently being lived. Because life is never without problems, problems will continue to come in small to big forms, but humans are able to overcome each of these problems with joy. By inserting the tagline “Storm Still Continues” as a seasoning to project an attitude to stay awake in the storm that is still continuing is a form of relevance in representing current social conditions.
Coinciding with the beginning of 2023, Lefthand Society opens its first chapter with “Celebrate Destruction Vol.1” in a zine format filled with 20 artists. Starting from graphic designers to illustrators who come from various cities in Indonesia. Starting from Aceh, Jakarta, to Trenggalek. Other cities include Malang, Blitar, Kediri, Yogyakarta, Pasuruan, Mojokerto and Probolinggo.

In this “Celebrate Destruction Vol.1” zine, the themes raised include Dystopia, Post-Apocalyptic, Culture, Social politics, Literary figures, Social Phenomena, and Environment.

“You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.”
Friedrich Nietzsche on Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Nietzsche used the metaphor of “chaos” to describe the conflict, doubt, and disorder that exist in life and in the human soul. He believes that chaos is an essential source of creative energy, allowing us to give birth to something beautiful, unique, and transformative—represented by the “dancing stars.”
