Slow living inspiration? Ecco i magazine da non perdere

Slow living inspiration? Here are the magazines not to be missed

One of the characteristics of independent magazines is time: they are slow publications, with long and sometimes irregular cadences, but above all they need time and slowness to be read and really appreciated.

We often find this slowness also in the contents, which invite you to embrace a conscious life. We have selected five inspiring independent magazines that invite us to slow down, offering us ideas and good reasons for a more conscious lifestyle.

Mulieris Magazine su Frab's Magazines

Mulieris magazine: feminism and art between the pages of a magazine

Mulieris Magazine is a somewhat uncomfortable magazine, but one that screams truth on every page. Yes, because we discover, reading it, that the world of art is still crossed today by profound gender disparities, a reflection of a society in which if you are a woman you still risk being considered a second-class human being. We interviewed the all-female team hiding behind its pages.

Perché abbiamo bisogno di Positive News?

Why do we need Positive News?

"Bad news are good news. Good news is no news. No news is bad news ". For the uninitiated, this is the first thing they teach you in any journalism course, but there is a different way to tell news, good or bad, and it's called constructive journalism.

Yogurt Magazine nel nostro Secret Mag Club di febbraio

Yogurt Magazine in our February Secret Mag Club

Kitsch, grotesque, disturbing, but precisely for this fascinating, to leaf through page after page with voyeuristic obsession. We could briefly describe the latest issue of Yogurt magazine, the Italian contemporary photography magazine that we hosted in our Secret Mag Club in February and which dedicated its second edition to bad taste. We asked Francesco Rombaldi, editor in chief and curator of Yogurt, to tell us something more about this project.
