Why I Failed in Porn

Maria Bettina

This book follows my journey of launching, growing, and ultimately failing in the adult entertainment industry. It explores society’s complex relationship with porn and sex education, the challenges of entrepreneurship, and the struggles of working in a deeply stigmatized space.

Still Life 4

Hamish MacPherson

STILL LIFE is an online and printed zine about relationships and configurations in which one person is still while others are not. Or where one person is passive and others are active. It’s about how we put ourselves in other people’s hands. Or how we are put in other people’s hands. It’s about care and power and vulnerability and agency. And other things not so clearly named. It’s about the different kinds of knowledge that people have about their own and other people’s bodies. And the kind of philosophical and political understandings woven into that knowledge.

Safar Issue 9: Protests

Periodicals €25.00

"Journal Safar's 9th issue is Protests. To protest is a fundamental human act against injustice. It takes many forms: the defiant act of existing, the organized resistance of multitudes, armed struggles, and the disruption of systems through speech, action, and refusal in person, in prints and slogans online, or on the streets. Some forms of protest require symbols, flags, and specific attire, while others are carried out through non-verbal communication, secret dissemination, and ideological discipline. Yet all of them need cultural carriers–our bodies, our stories, and our marks to hold what can be remembered and learned from. Whether explicit or invisible, in communities or in solitude, this issue explores why we protest, and how, in the hopes of sparking solace, solidarity, and action. 

In this issue: Maya Saikali sits down with Gérard Paris-Clavel, a co-founder of the pioneering Grapus Collective, to talk political image-making and the life of the image. Gérard delves into his own work and where it survives, “I don’t do exhibitions, I do demonstrations.” An illustrated Toolkit for Actions by Palestine Action makes direct action tactics accessible to anyone ready to confront the international system complicit in the Palestinian genocide. Two conversations by Maya Moumne: with Adbusters Magazine founder Kalle Lasn on the power of artists in revolutions, and with Ahmad Swaid, editor of Dazed MENA and former Editor-in-Chief of GQ Middle East, on censorship, identity, and building new cultural platforms across the region. While Audrey Tseng and Chong Gu write on Red Canary Song, a grassroots collective of Asian and migrant sex workers, massage workers, and allies of the Asian diaspora, that resist policing through notions of homemaking. 

These highlights sit alongside stellar contributions by Alina Lupu, Ahmad Zaghmouri, Muhannad Hariri, Elias Erkan, Bettina Nagler, Rasha Dakkak, Yaa Adae, and Nihal ElAasar. And for the first time: another magazine inside this magazine: Design Drafts #3, a collaboration with Nieuwe Instituut, on protest and design with contributions by Tala Abdalhadi, Myriam Amri, Shruti Hussain, Candice Jensen, and Alice Wan on the theme of protest and design."
