BRASILIA is a monothematic magazine made by design students at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Hanover.
It was designers who brought Brasilia Magazine to life. They spoke of neighbourliness, ideals and doubts, of waiting, of daughters and sons, garbage, action and inaction and of being separated, yet together. With this eighth edition of Brasilia, we have dared to make a radical break. In our »Anti« issue, we take a position. Being in favour of something always means rejecting other things. It means being »anti« and also being able to have a particular attitude. For design is never innocent.
Brasilia Magazine has never had so many contributors, reaching beyond University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Hanover. Marginal issues that should not be marginal are here given the space they deserve. We are not »anti« everything, for this issue is bursting with intimate views into the pros and cons of perspectives, feelings and rebellion: Patrycja Kopinska is afraid of time and wonders what happens when the film of one's own life feels like it is being fast-forwarded. Hannah Aders documents the enthusiasm demonstrated for war and weapons on German Armed Forces Day. Bennet Diephaus sheds light on the devastating clichés aimed at the queer community. Interior designer Franziska Innig-Aguion examines dying with self-determination, and photographer Sabine Findeisen shows us people with disabilities who would like to have love relationships. With his illustrations, Jan Skyprzek courageously allows us to take part in life with mental illness and daily doses of medication, just as Patrick Krawczyk provides a spirited, Iyric assertion of the self, full of pain and hope. In her online magazine for climate justice, Linda Rammes asks what responsibility we bear as designers. The eighth edition of Brasilia Magazine was long beset with uncertainty "Anti" nearly meant that there would be no magazine. But we decided to take a stand!
Therefore, the magazine is setting out on new paths in terms of design as well.
