What is this project all about?
We have published articles in several languages including English, German and Turkish.
Previous issues included stories about Black History Month, articles by political activists, literature by local poets and authors as well as useful information for refugees (see: http://oplatz.net/2016/01/02/looka-here-magazine/).
The next issue will feature a series of photographs by Muhammed Lamin Jadama, an article on Basic Income, poetry, an interview with a student, as well as other continuing features.
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
Our goal is to print the next issue with photographs by Muhammed Lamin Jadama in color to fully represent these powerful images. We plan to publish 250 copies in February. These will all be distributed for free. The magazine is for everyone.
Why would you support this project?
To foster dialogue in your local community and support the work of artists, writers and activists.
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
The money will solely be used to cover the printing costs to send issues to our supporters as well for preparing the launch of the next issue which will feature readings by some of our contributors.
Every supporter will receive a pdf of the magazine and an invitation to our launch party as well.
Who are the people behind the project?
We are a group of three friends and activists based in Berlin. Looka Here has become a way for us to support and empower our local community.
