Frab's Journal
Market. in our Secret Mag Club in April
Market, the magazine we have selected for the Secret Mag Club of April, shows us that another perspective of Sicily (and territorial magazines!) is possible. Halfway between an independent magazine and a photobook, Suq. Unconventional Sicily, tells us about a land that seems alien as far as it is from the commonplace-sicily that we have in our mind.
Frab's arrives in Milan: inaugurates the Mag da Base pop-up
We are proud and also a little excited to start with a new project that we consider a little the third, important piece of a road that we have already traced a few months ago, that of being there physically as well: Frab's arrives in Milan! Thanks to the collaboration with Base (Via Bergognone, 34), the 23 and 24 April from 10.00 to 20.00 we inaugurate our Pop-Up Mag.
That is, getting excited between the pages of a magazine
The sixth issue of the Fanzine Erotica has just come out, bringing porn back to where it was born about a century ago, in the wonderfully curated pages of a "dirty" magazine. On the occasion of our event in Rome, we interviewed the founder Alice Scornajenghi to let us tell everything about Ossì
What is the meaning of a print magazine today?
It is one of the questions I get asked most often, so I collected the answers that in these almost three years of Frab's I have been given by the many editors we interviewed
Nork Magazine in our February Secret Mag Club
Do not be fooled by the changing colors of this magazine because, among its pages, it transports us to a world of nostalgia and memories. Dedicated to the theme of memory, this sixth edition of Nork is a perfect hybrid between a magazine and a diary of memories that the reader is called upon to compile between one reflection and another.
Text Florence - A great start
We usually write about events we go to just to announce them. For Text we make a well-deserved exception to explain, in retrospect, the meaning of the first edition of this three days dedicated to the books that has left its mark on us. For us it was a different event than usual, but one of the most Frab's events ever
That genius of Bolo Paper: interview with Marco Nicotra
It is the most irreverent publishing label on the Italian independent scene: you love it or hate it. We obviously love it and we will tell you better who Bolo Paper is in this interview with its founder, Marco Nicotra
Yes & No magazine: the complexity of reality and people
Yes & No challenges the traditional structures of independent magazines e with 139 pages that address perhaps as many themes and opposites - past and future, analogue and digital, concrete and abstract, man and machine - he wants to invite us to seek our own personal answers. He suggests we do it through exploration because knowledge is, first of all, a human necessity. The time has therefore come to ask ourselves: where can we start?
LOST magazine in our January Secret Mag Club
Lost is not a simple travel magazine, Lost is the idea of travel in its purest essence, the one that considers it as a state of mind and a way to truly know yourself, is a magazine for the traveler who wants to get away from the beaten track and who is ready to venture into unusual, uncomfortable journeys, those that make us even a little uncomfortable. Here is the magazine that was in our Secret Mag Club in January
Interview: Robida, when the magazine really creates community
Robida is a strange creature, a somewhat Italian and a little Slovenian magazine with an apparently precarious identity, yet very solid, as are all things on the border. Many souls flow through its pages and all refer to an idea of pure and multidisciplinary culture that ranges from art to philosophy, from literature to society. In this choral interview, its creators tell us about a magazine that was really able to create community, but also give some advice to those who want to approach the world of independent magazines.
What do we expect in the world of independent magazines in 2022?
The last two years have also been out of the ordinary in the world of independent magazines. Many publications have closed, many others have been born, there is a desire to experiment, but there is also fear of economic uncertainties. In short, the last two years have traced what, in our opinion, will be the trends of the next few years. We have tried to summarize them here.
Frab's Christmas Party: magazine and more
There are giraffes with the body in one dish and the head (in the clouds) in the other, there are circus elephants and chimpanzees with red hats, divers and fish, birds and kittens, illuminated letters and wild boars, cheetahs and magic pipers in the world fantastic of Ziameim. You can find it only for Sunday 19 December in our store in Forlì, where we are waiting for you for the Christmas party
