I had a privilege to edit one more issue of Kuti Magazine for Kutikuti. This 71st release was based on open call and received enormous amount of submissions – in total more than 1000 pages from ca. 150 artists. To select 38 pages from this giant pile of works was not really a comfortable job to do. Indeed I decided to give out part of the works for the material of the next issue that’s open call as well, edited by Esko Heikkilä.
Featured artists in issue #71 are: Dimitris Abramopoulos (GRC), Sara Ahola (FIN), Natasha Batrakova (RUS/FIN), Karolina Galvadyté (LTU), Sam Gaskin (USA), Aaron Hotz (CAN), Keith Kavanagh (IRL), Jenni Lahtinen (FIN), Carlos Panhoca & Marcos Batista (BRA) Fidelia Schlegl (GER), Aska Schär (SUI) and Lars Sjunnesson (SWE).
This was an edition of 5 000 pcs. Thanks to all the artists and to Väinö Sirén for the layout. The cover I did is a mash-up as you see.

Due the a-hole far-right government we in Finland atm have there’s enormous pressure on the culture & art funding. During the year and few upcoming this pressure will most likely effect also Kutikuti’s funding. Due that it’s more and more important Kuti Magazine gets physical subscribers. If you like what we do and would like to order the paper mag, do it here.
