Resew journal puts on display the status-quo, in which the welfare state—blinded by the race to privatisation and deregulation—is paradoxically favouring the expansion of a new emerging class, the precariat.
Focusing the discourse on OECD countries, each issue tackles a particular area of intervention of welfare policies and present two crucial adversities currently faced by numerous nations. For each, a series of paired articles progresses through a narrative in which some of their major symptoms are highlighted, some of their consequences brought up and, at last, some relevant measures that have been taken in response—adopted by both the public or private sector and the civil sector—took under review, emphasising how people are forming a strong and collective identity, filling the gaps the welfare state often fails to recognise.

Making the magazine was just part of a bigger challenge, for which we expanded the idea behind it and outlined an online map where anyone could search for grassroots associations around the countries of the OECD, and then an ideal subreddit in which people could exchange ideas or even suggest initiatives or experiences that could influence the subsequent issues.
The magazine was selected for the 7th edition of “Neologia. Nuovi linguaggi del visual design in Italia”, and put on display during the “Not only objects filled with objects. Indie magazines for social change” exhibition.
