Steel Bananas

Steel Bananas is a Canadian artist collective and publishing house.

History

Established in 2008 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the frequency of their publications has varied from monthly (2008-2010), to quarterly (2011-2013), to annual chapbooks and interdisciplinary projects in various media (2014+).[1] Originally established as a collective of young artists, writers, and university students in Toronto,[2] the collective matured into a network of professional artists and a dedicated publishing house that expanded into Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and Leeds, United Kingdom under the leadership of Karen Correia da Silva and Curran Folkers.[3]

gollark: no.
gollark: > NB: 'just run off the bottom of the screen and keep going' is not an official strategy, it only arises from a bug in the osmarks.tk implementation. The original Emu War code prevents trying to run off the edge of the screen, but osmarks forgot to update these when he updated the gamefield size, foolishly assuming that the variables for gamefield size actually controlled the other relevant bits.
gollark: No! That picture is being used out of context!
gollark: It even says so at the top of the page.
gollark: Hey, how come you added a strategy which is explicitly just a bug exploit?
