IFLA! has defined a new type of politically engaged indie mag: creatively engaged but intelligently lo-fi, it places environmentalism in the everyday and, now eleven issues in, it continues to do so.
This issue is the first with Jackson Howarth as editor (Jackson spoke at magCulture Live New York 2024) and the theme this time is Knowledge.
