“It’s 1518 and a woman begins to dance, madly, feverishly, inexplicably on a street in Strasbourg. One by one, people join her and are soon dancing themselves to death. In Edition 2, Choreomania, we are exploring the phenomenon of mass hysteria in all its madness, joy, and fear. We want to read about apocalypses within the public consciousness—both imagined and very, very real. How will the world end? What time is it on the Doomsday Clock? Think flames at the nightclub. World War Z. Flashing lights and choirs of apocalyptic vocaloids. 2012 repeating itself over and over. Don’t scream into the void. Scream into the pages of Farrago Edition 2. The world is ending. It’s time to dance…”

Join Farrago Magazine? Please?
Did you miss our first round of applications and/or are an incoming student keen to get your hands dirty with student media?
Fear not—we're opening a second round of applications to join the team at Farrago Magazine for 2023! Applications are to be in by this Sunday, 12 March 2023, 11:59pm AEDT.
Our 2023 vision is centred around the representation of students from all backgrounds (including CALD, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, students from campuses outside of Parkville, and international and offshore students), interests, faculties, languages and stages in their creative pursuits. We’ve put in a lot of work to improve our accessibility and outreach, and are introducing dedicated positions such as a Regional and Suburban Campus based team, Reviews teams and more!
Musician Call-Outs
We have an entire academic year worth of launch parties that are in desperate need for live music and are keen to get more bands and/or solo artists to perform! Know any student musicians? Are you a student musician? Say less and email us at editors@farragomagazine.com.
As always, stay in touch! We’re always open for cold submissions and pitches for literally anything. We are also almost always in the Goblin Cave, located on the fourth floor of Building 168.
Drop by to say hi, chat all things media, marvel at the insidious mess we’ve made on the floor with boxes of old Farragos or feel free to use one of our desks as a workspace! I also recently got a buttload of snacks. Please eat them before they go bad.
Love,
Carmen
Your favourite Farrago Non-Fic Editor!
