Rubbish: la FAMzine a "conduzione familiare" che vi emozionerà - Frab's Magazines & More

Rubbish: the "family-run" FAMzine that will thrill you

Rubbish comes from Singapore and is a FAMzine, or “family zine”, the result of the artistic collective of the Lim family. We loved it from the beginning because it arrives where we would not be able to find a precise definition for "art of independent publishing".

The Paper: a wordless book to help Reporter Sans Frontier
