SPECIAL EDITION OF 70 HAND-NUMBERED COPIES WITH SILK-SCREENED CLOTH.
The tenth anniversary of Balam magazine is a magic act. Welcome, everyone, to a special performance, which will have bohemia as its special guest. This time, she will not be wearing her European-style outfit. Instead, she will put into words and images what is slowly disappearing. That which has always been on the margins. Bohemia as a celebration of life, as a key to understanding, and as an axis for congregating around what has not yet been modernized. This issue is a ritual and an invocation: here dwell the purest of beliefs, the ones that originate new worlds.
In times when hate speeches and indifference prevail, when the waves of fascism hit hard, we contextualize the idea of bohemia as a way of affirming what is ours, what nothing and no one can destroy. Determining figures for the recovery of collective memory and the rupture of the aseptic ideals of whiteness come to interrupt normativity to give way to narratives that needed to be pondered.
Bohemia as immersion, as dance, and as a point of collective synergy. Bohemia as a journey with past and future, as a careful appreciation of what is genuine. Bohemia as a safeguard of that which, even existing, no longer exists. Bohemia as a challenge to violence, as a portal to abundance.
