Born Magazine would make any Marxist proud. Its meshing of media and text — the collaborative volunteer outcomes of artists, writers, musicians, and other creative types — is rendered and wrought at times with tenderness, at times with brashness, and is never boring.
The second issue of Born Magazine is particularly captivating. My personal favorite is the work “Zoology” done by Sasha West and Ernesto Lavendera. The subtle sort of interaction that it requires allows the viewer to have this sort of light participation: comfortable, no decisions, except whether to go on, and I couldn’t imagine not wanting to read the provoking text to the last.
