Co-Exist is a recurring publication, with each edition shining a spotlight on a different animal. Specifically, aiming to shed light on animals that are often considered pests or nuisances. By focusing on these creatures, I hope to challenge the prevailing negative perceptions and educate people about the inherent beauty and value they possess. In this particular edition, the spotlight is on pigeons. Through engaging content and captivating illustrations, readers will discover fascinating insights about these birds and why they deserve to be viewed differently.  
 
Co-Exist’s journey begins with observational sketches and snippets of conversations overheard at a spot on the Bristol harbour, where the coexistence of people and wildlife is apparent. There were positive and negative interactions and one particular conversation that I overheard inspired this whole zine. 
 
At the heart of Co-Exist lies a humanist message, a philosophy that advocates for a kinder and more compassionate society, where humans and animals exist in perfect harmony as equals. I firmly believe that achieving this vision starts with seemingly small acts that hold profound meaning. By fostering understanding and empathy towards other creatures, we can overcome our fears and develop genuine connections with them. When we appreciate their unique abilities and recognize their significance, our care and concern for their well-being naturally deepen.
 
One vital aspect of realising this compassionate society is instilling these values in children. By teaching them to embrace kindness, care, modesty, and humility, we pave the way for a brighter future. When the younger generation grows up with an inherent respect and empathy for all living beings, they become the catalysts for positive change.
