Steel Bananas is a Canadian artist collective and publishing house.

History

Established in 2008 in Toronto, 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, Canada, and Leeds, United Kingdom under the leadership of Karen Correia da Silva and Curran Folkers.[3]
