Alien Magazine: identity, design and politics
Lisa Moura
20th of November, room 415, 2 p.m.
Since its origin, the word alien has acquired multiple meanings, from generally describing, in legal terminology, people who are in a place outside of their native nations, synonym to the concepts of foreigner or immigrant, to the sometimes cute, sometimes monstrous creatures portrayed in science fiction.
Alien Magazine explores, twists and pushes the boundaries of the understanding of what an alien is. In a series of visual/written essays, interviews or investigative reports, it invites citizens, no matter their shape, size, color, profession, political party, creed, belief, nation, planet to rethink social norms and labels.
In a sometimes alienating society, Alien Magazine provides a safe haven to those who feel they have none.
