Continuing, @mayamoumne discusses the impact of the #Beirut explosion earlier this year: the damage it caused and is still causing to minority communities, the protests which followed, and how @JournalSafar will continue to respond in print... 🟥🟦 #magCultureLive2020

Now up, it's @mayamoumne of @JournalSafar. Below, the #NOSTALGIA issue, the issue where people started: "taking notice." Interestingly, once the team "shifted from an experimental [cover] to one that adopts more conventional modes of designing covers for mags" – @mayamoumne 🟥🟦

Uno de mis algoritmos de lectura favoritos se llama @StackMagazines: una revista independiente distinta cada mes. Éste tocó @JournalSafar de Beirut, con joyas como el artículo sobre "The Maid´s Room" o los autorretratos alemanes de @mazenkerbaj (obligado cuando hay BD y Beirut).
