Raise Your Voice zine

Published March 10, 2025

Raise Your Voice is a zine published by Baltan Laboratories, a “cultural indisciplinary lab [focusing] on societal issues through a relational approach, creating spaces to rehearse living otherwise.”

From Baltan Laboratories:

In an era where societal and cultural challenges intersect with creative practices, Raise Your Voice emerges as a reflection of collective growth and critical inquiry. This zine captures the essence of a unique five-month coaching trajectory that brought together emerging designers, thinkers, and makers in a collaborative exploration of community, perspectives, and systems.

Separated in three chapters – Community, Perspectives and Systems – Raise Your Voice was created in collaboration with the alumni department of Design Academy Eindhoven and Master Institute of Visual Cultures of St. Joost ’s-Hertogenbosch, and features three essays by invited writers Silvio Lorusso, Gijs de Boer and Ned Kaar.

The zine consists of seven printed objects of various nature, including a booklet, a poster, a bookmark and a postcard-size photo – one of them is folded to contain the whole, held together by what seems to be a brown paper strip. Visual coherence comes from earthy tones of beige, grey and brown, as well as a limited choice of typefaces.

The design uses several weights of Ready Active, both as initials and standalone titling typeface, paired with Neue Haas Grotesk.
