A mag festival like no other. For their first-ever live event, magazine fanatics FRABS sure know how to host a fair!
Set inside the gorgeous Sala Borsa, a public library in the centre of Bologna, Italy. Taking place over two days with a precise selection of independent publications, and a range of talks from industry experts; the place was a buzz.
With over 10,000 people flooding through the doors to browse the hundreds of books, magazines, and zines. It was so great to see so many people in one place celebrating print and independent publishing.
Truly, PRINT ISN’T DEAD.
Not to mention it was so inspiring to meet all the amazing creators, authors, and artists that were selling their works. We can’t wait for the next one! And of course a big congratulations to FRABS for pulling off one of the greatest events this year!
LIST OF PUBLICATIONS FEATURED IN THIS ARTICLE
– WRPD magazine is a biannual magazine that promotes the dialogue between Art, Photography, and Fashion. It is an independent project that expresses a contemporary vision through the eyes and works of established international talented designers, photographers, and writers. Besides the print magazine, WRPD also offers an exclusive online platform.
– ATHLETA magazine is a photographic and editorial project developed by Athleta Lab. A physical and digital ode to the athletic muse, divided between the poetry of print and the incisiveness of daily communication. Their philosophy is reflected in this dual soul, encapsulated as much in their independent magazine distributed worldwide as in the constant creation and sharing of topical content delivered daily on their digital platforms.
– BLUMENHAUS is a luxurious hybrid of an art book and a magazine founded and designed with care by Camille Gressier & Isabelle Laydier Kristensen. The publication travels back in time with a philosophical and romantic approach. Written exclusively in English by a group of professional editors & journalists specialised in botany, it focuses as much on the aesthetic side – mixing contemporary visuals and antique archives – as on bringing insight to its readers.
– CARNALE is a creative studio and an independent editorial project with a bold positioning. A biannual rhythm and a Milanese libido. ‘CONTENT CREATION, ART DIRECTION, WILD EVENTS, AND SECRET ROOMS TO UNLOCK…’CAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO HIDE TO SEDUCE.’
