Teaser Image: 

I'm so proud of helping to spread the word of the first riot grrrl call up of Salvador, this is all about Na Lâmina da Faca's Collective. After Brazils' Ladyfest Íris said that she was really inspired, and now we all can see the good benefits of it.
They are asking for everybody that got good ideas to make together a D.I.Y festival made by woman. If you want to send your zine, band demo, art, patche, mixtapecd, you are welcome.

„Narobe means Wrong.“ - Roman Kuhar, editor-in-chief of Narobe magazine and blog (Ljubljana), in conversation with Tea Hvala.

Topic: 
Activism
Grassroots media in Europe
LGBT and queer issues
Teaser Image: 

Roman Kuhar: “Narobe” (http://www.narobe.si/ and http://www.narobe.si/menu/arhiv) means “Wrong”. It‘s a kind of subversion which we wanted to have in the title of the magazine. People keep on asking us why the magazine is called Wrong, isn’t it supposed to be a magazine which affirmed with the LGBTIQ community? The fact that we get this kind of feedback is a sign that choosing this name was a good decision. There is also a subtitle – “a magazine where everything is right” – which, in my opinion, makes our message quite clear.
