MIASMA

MIASMA was established in Amsterdam under the mottos of Lumbung and It Takes A Child To Raise A Village, MIASMA is an irregular – in time as well as in format – collective publishing project. MIASMA is engaged in publishing on art, theory, cultural analysis, activism, and social issues. The goal is to bring together artists, writers, theorists, graphic designers, and everyone interested in order to publish from the margins, and bring forth positive change that way.
