A magazine party for print-obssessed people at our London gallery, 71a
- Text by HUCK HQ
Creative crowdsourcing platform GOODFRUIT is bringing a selection of explorative titles together for a magazine emporium (“like a pyjama party without the pyjamas”) at our gallery 71a in London, Wednesday November 26.
To celebrate “good independent publishing”, GOODFRUIT has invited rising mags like the wanderlust-full Another Escape, dreamy women’s publication Oh Comely, the artisanal Ernest Journal and creative start-up bible Intern Mag (as well as yours truly) to sit on a panel and discuss things like design, philosophy, community and funding.
GOODFRUIT have also suggested that magazine-minded attendees bring their fave pieces of print to share and swap.
The party will run from 6.30pm-8.30pm, tickets are available for £7 via Eventbrite.
