This Orient Volume 4

The print-magazine This Orient gives an insight into the Middle Eastern and North African art scene and the Diaspora.

Every issue has a specific topic always related to people from the MeNa region and the diaspora.

For artists and cultural workers the haptic is important as well as for us - therefore we print. The magazine itself is our medium which we regard as a space, an exhibition space where we select carefully each story.

The magazine contains about 150 pages which will be available at our website and well chosen book stores.

Our aim is to create a magazine which appears once a year. It is about the MeNa region and the Diaspora with all their variations.

The richness of specialities, the pure potential and authenticity of Middle Eastern and North African regions needs to be explored and shared with the world.

We explore the past, but also celebrates the contemporary North African and Middle Eastern culture and art scene, with all its variations.

The name This Orient implies the idea of a space no matter if physical or not, where one feel free to express hisself.

Our readers are mostly part of the art and culture scene and, or working in the creative industry. But the magazine is also for those who are just interested in the MeNa region having no roots there but planning a trip.

We want to continue our work as a magazine. But therefore we need you.
It feels like there is a gap when it comes to magazines featuring the MeNa region. There is still so much more to explore.
We want to discover as most as we can and we want you to join us on our journey.

The 1st funding level (15k€) is needed to print the 4th issue and pay fees to the designer, journalists and photographers.
For the 2nd funding level (+30k€) we can also plan, work on and print the 5th issue. By collecting +30€k we can create something which lasts. Help us to let something beautiful grow.
