3rd Eye Street Media (3ESM) is an independent Ottawa-based creative and publishing outfit producing raw, lived-experience media — zines, essays, films, audio, and campaigns. We merge art and advocacy to tell the real stories of poverty, addiction, and systemic failure from the ground up.

Our work helps those who’ve lived it feel seen, and helps those who haven’t understand the truth behind the headlines. 3ESM delivers honest, human, street-informed content built to shift perspectives and spark real change.
