Revista Balam is an independent contemporary photography magazine based in Buenos Aires, Argentina that shows images of emerging and established artists from Latin America and the rest of the world. It speaks issues related to minorities and dissent through its open call. Presenting here its latest issue N6 under the theme of MESTIZX. In this issue we come to expose the collective call of more than 100 authors from different parts of the world who explore, through their eyes, the advance of stocks in various political, social and cultural contexts of a world dominated and repressed by the heterosexual norm. We metaphorically reinvent the concept of MESTIZX from taking our bodies as a field and witness to the struggle and visibility of our decisions and ways of being, acting and loving. Photographers who cross borders to build and deconstruct the future panorama of photography.

La Perruque, type magazine
La Perruque is a 1 × 90 cm-long magazine publishing nonstandard type specimens printed in the margins of regular documents.
La Perruque hacks unused paper surfaces from print shop production, so they become carte blanche for type designers instead of waste.
Each issue is a specimen of a typeface. All of them together draw the portrait of a contemporary typography scene. La Perruque showcases experimental typography projects. It is also a place for type manifestos and in-progress fonts.
Besides being an online archive of the magazine issues, www.la-perruque.org also gives access to the font design processes documented by the type designers themselves.
“A ‘homer’ [«perruque» in french] is an artifact that a worker produces using company tools and materials outside normal production plans but at the workplace and during workhours. Despite legal, artistic and ethnographic evidence of their existence, silence surrounds [perruques]. […] this silence is not linked just to the marginal and illegal quality of these artifacts. [Perruques] shed light on a high degree of ‘complicity’ between employees regardless of their position in the hierarchy.” Michel Anteby, “Factory ‘homers’: Understanding a highly elusive, marginal, and illegal practice“, in Sociologie du travail, 45, 2003, p. 453.
The magazine is now published by Surfaces Utiles, a publishing house runned with a similar mindset, trying to publish parallelepiped books through these non-standard production methods.

Sabat Magazine
SABAT is a three-issue magazine (The Maiden Issue, The Mother Issue & The Crone Issue), fusing witchcraft and feminism, ancient archetypes and instant art to paint a portrait of and offer insight into what the occult means today.
“Satanic feminism, esoteric influences on high fashion and celebrating the darker side of being a woman: just a few things to be spellbound by in biannual magazine Sabat.” – VICE
“Sabat is a wizard of a magazine and it’s such an unexpectedly fantastic concoction. It brings together two interests of mine that I never thought would or could combine; witchy themes found in 90s TV shows like ‘Buffy’ and ‘Charmed’ on the one hand, and crisp design and typography on the other. You wouldn’t expect this combination to work, but it does.” – MAGCULTURE
All three issues available to purchase through our website!

Borshch Magazine #5
BORSHCH is a magazine for electronic music on and beyond the dancefloor. Founded in Berlin in 2017, it’s a space to provoke open dialogues and challenge established ideas about making, listening, and dancing to music. Through physical and digital formats, BORSHCH discusses the artistic, social, and political impact of electronic music on contemporary culture in and outside the club settings. The print edition of the magazine is published biannually.
In BORSHCH #5, we enter sweaty basements and concrete cathedrals and explore the culture of darkness born out of protest. In unsettling environments, we embrace the shadows and challenge our senses with obscure electronic music. When do you feel comfortable with your discomfort? What happens when the lights go off, and the only source of illumination you’re left with is blurry haze or an abrupt stroboscopic pulse? Conversation with Deena Abdelwahed, Lucrecia Dalt, and Alessandro Adriani question the ambiguity of ‘dark’ sound and psychological impact of unpolished music. Artist portraits of Animistic Beliefs, Rrose, Klein, Ziúr deconstruct the dark areas where sins, injustice, and disquiet are as human and real as pleasures and joy. This issue of Borshch considers entering the dark as an act of coming home, to the cave where the primary source of life is hidden.

Sistaaz of the Castle
Jan Hoek, fashion designer Duran Lantink and trans sex worker organisation SistaazHood present ‘Sistaaz of the Castle’, published by Art Paper Editions, an ongoing project about the colorful looks and lives of transgender sex workers that roam the streets of Cape Town, South Africa.
Most of the girls are homeless, living under a bridge near Cape Town’s castle. The Sistaaz are eager activists, proud to be trans, proud to be a sex worker, and even prouder of their stunning sense of style. And they want it to be acknowledged.
A series of photographs and a fashion collection based on the girls’ appearance and their ability to turn whatever they find into the most exuberant outfits was created. This has already resulted in a fashion show at Amsterdam Fashion Week (a show in Cape Town in still on the wish list) and a photo exhibition in Foam Amsterdam.

Pablo Lafuente
Concreta 16 / Desde otras palabras
Para los Kaingang, synuin es algo bonito, es decir, algo que puede percibirse como bonito por la persona que lo recibe. Dzeeka en Baniwa se refiere a saber hacer, a algo que alguien puede hacer como resultado de una evolución de saber, aprendido de los más ancianos y que solo puede ser hecho por humanos. Ziapohaw, para los Guajajara, identifica el acto de hacer, provocar, crear, resolver. Mevi-revosh-showima-awe en Marubo es un trabajo hecho con la punta de los dedos. Yaimyxop, para los Tikmu’um o Maxakali, es un esfuerzo estético que produce eventos espirituales, constituidos por música y cantos, y con la presencia de personas-espíritu. Tembiapo, en Guaraní, es una práctica de hacer conectada con el arte y la memoria.
A veces no hay palabras para una práctica, porque esa práctica no existe, o no lo hace del mismo modo. Puede materializarse de modos similares a otra con ese nombre, hasta puede parecer que, por un momento, es la misma práctica.
Sin embargo, si la acompañamos durante el tiempo suficiente, o la consideramos en su complejidad, en su alcance e implicaciones, ese encuentro puede parecer apenas una coincidencia o, simplemente, irrelevante. Pero aún así, insistimos…
La palabra arte es persistente, sorprendentemente efectiva en su habilidad de atraer la atención, afectar procesos y motivar agencias. También en provocar irritación y hastío, principalmente por su obcecada voluntad de expansión, su espíritu colonial de crecimiento e incorporación.
En tiempos recientes, el arte y su sistema en Brasil volvieron su atención a los pueblos indígenas y sus producciones. No tanto a sus realidades o preocupaciones, sus demandas o incomodidades, sino a los objetos e imágenes que algunos de ellos producen, así como a ciertas narrativas y valores que su presencia evoca e invoca. «Arte indígena» se convirtió en un asunto, seguido, lentamente al comienzo, por «artistas indígenas» y, aún hoy incipientemente, «curadores indígenas». Ocupaciones y preocupaciones necesarias, deseadas e inevitables, que revelan un encuentro que puede ser celebrado, pero que no debe ser tomado como resuelto o definitivo.
Este número de Concreta intenta acercarse a algunos puntos de ese encuentro y, aún con mayor énfasis, caminar hacia otros lugares en los que las trayectorias se bifurcan y apuntan a un exceso: un exceso que es tan, o más relevante, que los encuentros. Para traer aquí esos acercamientos, invitamos a personas que los realizan profesional y vitalmente en diferentes territorios de América Latina y España. La mayoría en Brasil, el territorio en el que vivo hace aproximadamente ocho años, pero también en Bolivia, Chile, México y Guatemala: países en los que un proceso colonial de más de quinientos años no consiguió eliminar impulsos y prácticas de creación y recreación tan o más persistentes que esa palabra con la que comenzamos.
Desde plataformas institucionales o de gestión autónoma, desde posiciones colectivas o aproximaciones individuales alimentadas por la tradición, indígenas y no indígenas, las personas que contribuyen a este número muestran en su trabajo y vida voluntad de contacto, sin necesidad de suponer una autonomía que salvaguarde la práctica. Es difícil ofrecer una síntesis, tal vez porque no se trata de llegar a un común sino a una abertura. Tal vez el único común posible aquí sea una pregunta que sirva de comienzo, que fuerce un ejercicio, que demande una reflexión con consecuencias sobre las estructuras: para que ese contacto acontezca de una manera que el arte y sus sistemas no subsuman, agoten o desanimen las prácticas que procura encontrar. ¿Qué debería cambiar en ese sistema? ¿Qué métodos, palabras, suposiciones, actitudes y deseos precisan mudar para que el encuentro no sea, de nuevo, abusivo y violento, para que no sirva solo a una parte?
Las historias, imágenes, narraciones y perspectivas que siguen no son instrucciones. Sin embargo, contienen herramientas y ejemplos, impulsos y visiones que nos apuntan hacia algunas respuestas.
Pablo Lafuente (Santurtzi, 1976). Escritor, editor y comisario de arte que vive en Río de Janeiro. Fue cocurador da 31a Bienal de São Paulo (2014), del proyecto de investigación y exposición Zarigüeya / Alabado Contemporáneo (Museo de Arte Precolombino Casa del Alabado, Quito, 2015-20), de las exposiciones Dja Guata Porã : Rio de Janeiro Indígena (Museu de Arte do Rio, Río de Janeiro, 2017-18) y Sawé : Liderança Indígena e a Luta pelo Território (Sesc Ipiranga, São Paulo, programada para 2021). Fue coordinador del Programa CCBB Educativo en el CCBB, Rio de Janeiro (2018-20) y, desde septiembre de 2020 es director artístico del Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM Rio) junto con Keyna Eleison.

Carcy #4
Lust at large – A reference to undressing and stepping out of societal norms, Carcy magazine is a large format journal focusing on the topic and representation of eroticism following its tagline Lust at large. Carcy, a biannual magazine with a timeless allure, comes with a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic and a penchant for vintage, high-end quality photography and portraiture. Visually, it draws on the history of the photography and narrative process of cinema. This lustful fashion magazine is about people and their link between something both intimate and universal, ancient acts constantly redefined by new norms and rules.
For Stephane Carcy, creative director and editor-in-chief, photography is truth, and all the artists he likes and, in a way or another, end up in his publication—in the form of inspiration— are all related to images, like Pina Bausch, Christian Boltanski or Jean-Luc Godard. Throughout century all human beings articulate freedom via carnal expression and this is what Carcy wants to celebrate.
Edited by Stephane Carcy. Issue 4 features Edwina Preston on the cover, shot by Amit Israeli.
