About

Sisyphus is a magazine that focuses on contemporary issues surrounding art, culture, and language. “There is no fate that cannot be surmounted…” says Camus. Like the stone that is rolled up the hill only to roll back down, meaning is man-made and must be created over and over again. To create meaning, you must move forward, without certainty. Sisyphus is committed to printing those efforts that attempt to get a stone to the top of the hill.
