If you have not yet come across Equator I urge you to look at some of what they are publishing. These essays by Natalia Ginzburg respond with clarity and insight to the ways in which Israel continued to be identified as progressive after 1967 and the six day war. #NataliaGinzburg

This new magazine is doing amazing work. Have a look.
This is an insider account of the manufacturing boom that transformed our world. Poet Zheng Xiaoqiong and photographer Zhan Youbing both worked for years in Guangdong’s factories before turning to art. They cast a human light on their fellow migrant labourers.
