A lazy Saturday & I’m absolutely engrossed by Journal Safar, the latest delivery from Stack Magazines - a bilingual indie mag from Beirut full of essays, interviews & insight ‘trying to shift the conversation on design & visual culture from its fixation in the global North.’

Beirut-based design team Maya Moumne and Hatem Imam founded Journal Safar in 2014 with the intention of highlighting cultural production and exchange in Lebanon and the region. Issue V verrrry good 👏🏼

Very excited by my first Stack Magazines arrival today! Journal Safar #MiddleEast #Beirut #GraphicDesign

Today at 4pm Beirut time

This month's Stack Magazines offering from Journal Safar - a bilingual Arabic & English design focussed journal from Beirut. I remember when, here, the name 'Beirut' was just a lazy cipher for conflict and disorder.… instagram.com/p/CAkcEvVnaeA/…

Uno de mis algoritmos de lectura favoritos se llama Stack Magazines: una revista independiente distinta cada mes. Éste tocó Journal Safar de Beirut, con joyas como el artículo sobre "The Maid´s Room" o los autorretratos alemanes de mazen kerbaj (obligado cuando hay BD y Beirut).

Absolutely stunned by Journal Safar’s beautiful design. Can’t wait to get stuck in! Via Stack Magazines

@maia_here_now Journal Safar I need the new one!

Now up, it's Maya Moumne of Journal Safar. Below, the #NOSTALGIA issue, the issue where people started: "taking notice." Interestingly, once the team "shifted from an experimental [cover] to one that adopts more conventional modes of designing covers for mags" – Maya Moumne 🟥🟦

Continuing, Maya Moumne discusses the impact of the #Beirut explosion earlier this year: the damage it caused and is still causing to minority communities, the protests which followed, and how Journal Safar will continue to respond in print... 🟥🟦 #magCultureLive2020

Wrapping up a brilliant talk from Journal Safar, Maya Moumne discusses the dual front covers of the current issue, "ISSUE 5 #MIGRATION", which features activist, migrant domestic workers Mekdes Yilma & Tsigereda Brihanu, interviewed via Zoom 🟥🟦 #magCultureLive2020 #JournalSafar
