Magpies Press

Magpies Press 🐦 an artist collective that explores indie publishing, performed poetry, visual media, & others

Magpies is an artist collective and small press dedicated to collaborative practices in independent zine production. Established in 2013 initially as a poetry workshop and independent publishing collective, Magpies has now turned to more transdisciplinal projects that take off from DIY publishing. We work on DIY publishing as an artistic-activist organizing production that conditions new possibili

ties of textuality and creative relations. We run initiatives for community exchange, such as ZINE ORGY (since 2015), a biannual artist expo, THE BASEMENT(since 2018), a platform for critical conversations on culture, and DEEP THOUGHT (since 2016), fora on works in progress.

Bukas na naman mi-nove ang meeting tungkol sa market ng alas dos ng hapon. Sa kasalukuyan, wala pang naipapalabas na agenda kaya hindi natin alam kung pang-ilan ang pagtalakay ng issue natin.

Gayumpaman, hindi tayo mapapagod ipakita sa kanila na mahal natin ang market! We show our strength in numbers and let our Councilors know that the Baguio Public Market is for the Baguio People!

Today, a stray cat enjoys more freedoms than two million Palestinians in Gaza. A stray cat can roam around the streets without fear of getting bombed. Palestinians cannot. A stray…

It is business as usual at the 2025 Frankfurt Book Fair (FBF), happening on Oct 15-19, with the Philippines as its Guest of Honor (GoH). Our government is continuing to spend hundreds of millions of pesos to promote Philippine literature on a platform complicit in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, instead of heeding the call to boycott the FBF launched in January 2025 by Publishers for Palestine and endorsed by the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

To counter the state-sponsored amnesia that FBF GoH celebrations are bound to induce, and to keep the conversation going about the work of cultural production in the time of genocide, we invite writers, artists, and zinesters to join FARTFUNKR BLTX: ZINE READING, TRADING, AND SHARING.

As the fanfare over our country’s GoH participation amplifies the prestige of the fair, join us in the refusal to forget the price we’ve been made to pay, supposedly for the good of our cultural production: the missed opportunity for the Philippines to stand resolutely in solidarity with Palestine, and the use of our public funds to enrich a platform that enables genocide.

Happening Oct 18 from 2-7PM, FARTFUNKR is set to provide a modest celebration of Palestine, a clear re-expression of solidarity from some Philippine artists with the Palestinian state and its people, and a joyous reminder of the value of art-making and community-building outside the hollow halls of the book fair from Frankfurt am Main to the Mall of Asia. Bring zines, bring friends, bring calls for freedom and justice from the river to the sea!
