About Snatch Magazine
Snatch Magazine was started in 2017 by Sophia Mitropoulos while she was an undergraduate Fine Art student at University of Southern California’s Roski School of Art and Design.
Snatch Magazine was born as the midterm project of Jennifer West’s Intermedia course on Riot Grrrl. The prompt was to create a zine, and in true D.I.Y. fashion, Mitropoulos recruited the women on her weightlifting team to help create collages, poetry, and drawings that emulated what it means to be a woman in Olympic Weightlifting. She shared it on Instagram and Reddit and by her spring break, she was printing 75 pre-paid copies to send around the world.
After graduating USC, Mitropoulos released her first sticker for Snatch Magazine- Girl Guts. The inventory sold out within 2 hours and thus the business was born. Snatch Magazine is still run alone by Sophia Mitropoulos (yes, hi, it’s me now, breaking that 4th wall) but she dreams of one day collaborating with larger brands as an artist, and ultimately growing her personal businesses to the point where they could sustain her full time.
