Where do you actually learn that it is possible to turn art and culture into a profession? Tear everything down and start again or diversity-oriented organisational development? What strategies are there for networking and self-determined work?

In three podcast episodes named “2 Years From Now”, Diversity Arts Culture Berlin talks to experts about classism in art and cultural practice, about racism in cultural institutions and the gaps that still need to be filled, about how artists can protect themselves and defend themselves against racism and what mutual empowerment can look like.

Grand Slam Mephisto is an exhibition by the Casablanca studio community in the Bunker-D gallery at Fachhochschule Kiel, Germany. They write:

The Casablanca studio community is a group of nine artists who work in the studio complex of the same name in Kiel-Gaarden. A special feature of the community is the close cooperation between the artists in terms of content: they not only work in their own studios, but also jointly on projects and always exchange ideas about their work.

The project uses CoFo Peshka in different widths and weights.

Designed by FISK in Portland, OR, JOON magazine is a celebration of design and culture, with vibrant layouts and expressive typography. Between the pages of JOON you'll find compelling stories, insightful interviews, and inspiring works of art by a diverse group of humans based in Portland and beyond.

The typefaces featured within these pages are Banto (Teo Tuominen), CoFo Peshka (Contrast Foundry), Gooper (Very Cool Studio), Jaune Grande (Studio Triple), Relaate (Alex Slobzheninov), and Spindle (Gor Jihanian), all available on Future Fonts.

In Farsi, the word JOON translates to life, and is often used as a term of endearment. It carries a positive connotation of closeness and affection, bestowed upon loved ones.

JOON is also a partnership between FISK and Brown Printing that was initiated to help shed light on the exciting arts scene in Portland and to showcase the possibilities and impact of design and print. Photographs by Mario Gallucci.
