TANK Vol. 11 #3

Based in London, TANK Magazine has grown from a pocket-sized publication founded in 1998 to a quarterly print magazine, covering fashion, art, politics, literature, travel, architecture, technology, and frankly everything in between! 

Each issue offers a curation of in-depth interviews, features, and images, built around a theme of travel in winter and books in summer. 

Tank Volume 11 Issue #3 Spring 2025

Consensus that community is what will save us: find your tribe, build networks of mutual aid, transcend your personhood on the dancefloor. But what do we mean by a term that is used so readily by left and right, marketeer and activist alike? In this issue of TANK, we consider how community is indexed, what it offers us politically and – ultimately – how might we move beyond it.

Semiotics studio Axis Mundi deciphers the role of community in corporate advertising, while Rosanna McLaughlin uncovers loneliness and transphobic handicrafts at the LGB Alliance Conference. Amy Ching-Yan Lam and Aurelia Guo reflect on the meaning of home, and Emily Steer examines the cult-like allure of the Landmark Forum. Francisco Garcia investigates the poison-pen letters causing chaos in rural Yorkshire, and we ask artists, theorists, and a dominatrix: what’s wrong with community?
