its and bobs ............................... magazine of thE month: human being ‘Home’ is a state of mind rather than a place, I think. I remember an incident in Carlos Castenada’s books in which the protagonist is taught by Don Juan, the Yaqui [Native American tribe] man of knowledge. One evening, after the ingestion of many substances and crawling around the floor of a small wooden shack, Don Juan tells him he will find home in one small space where he will feel at ease. And he does. We have lots of mags about houses and decoration and they are all lovely. We’ve used them for inspiration in our own house. But however nice the spaces are that we create, they don’t guarantee the feeling of ‘home’. This month, we started to stock a magazine new to us. Human Being comes from the States. We all liked it from the moment it arrived and on the day I’m writing this review, people have come into the shop, picked it up and said ‘Oh, this feels good.’ Human Being feels like ‘home’. It’s challenging but comfortable, varied but coherent, and lovely to hold. It’s also about the kind of things that feel like home. Yes, it’s about fashion, architecture, design, shops and crafts like so many other mags. But Human Being delivers by being very… human. As its editorial says ‘There is no longer wisdom in isolationism.’ So the interviews with writers, artists, illustrators and others show the real person and not the pre-written press release person; the shops and homes feel like places we might actually like being in and the workplaces feel like we might want to work there. They have names like Commune and Neighbourhood. It’s difficult to say exactly what home is and it’s difficult to say why this beautifully produced magazine is as good as it is. But everyone seems to like it and feel at home with it. That will do, won’t it? Martin Skelton, Magazine Brighton, Trafalgar Street pechakucha night, may 25 We first got involved with PechaKucha in May last year, and Viva members are still part of the team, led by the graphic artist Woody, putting together the quarterly event. PechaKucha has been nomadic under our tenure, holding nights at the Velo Café, the Yellowave Clubhouse, Silo and the Nightingale Room at Grand Central. The latter venue proved so perfect for the format – a range of speakers using the 20x20 format (20 images, each automatically showing for just 20 seconds) – that we’re staying put there, at least for next edition. The theme of that edition, on Wednesday May 25th, will be ‘Getting Around’; as we go to press we haven’t got our final line-up, but in the mix is an architect, a drag artist and travel photographer. In all there will be ten presenters. The last four shows have all been sell-outs, so if you’re interested book now at pechakucha.org/cities/brighton. ....23....
