20 Seconds Launches Kickstarter Campaign to Fund Issue 7
Access exclusive pre-orders from 14 May
SUPPORT 20 SECONDS ISSUE 7: “THE MEDIUM”
20 Seconds is launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund the printing of the magazine’s Issue 7. From Tuesday, 14 May, you can support the printing of the new issue by pre-ordering Issue 7 and Issue 8 and gaining access to exclusive posters, zines and more.
The campaign runs until May 30, so don’t hesitate to support.
You can learn more about the campaign as well as donate, here, starting tomorrow.
Why Now?
Since we launched 20 Seconds, a lot has happened that we didn’t expect. The Covid-19 pandemic broke out just months after Issue 1 was released, derailing more than just our plans to host a series of events to fundraise our future issues. In addition to the terror inflicted on Ukrainians, Russia’s invasion has disrupted logistics routes across the continent, increasing shipping, energy and paper costs, effectively doubling the cost to manufacture the magazine.
Support 20 Seconds as it continues to document arts that intrigue and resist.
Where does the money go?
All funds raised during this campaign will go toward the production, printing, and shipping of 20 Seconds Issue 7 and 8. Issue 7 is already completed, and waiting to be printed by KOPA, our long-time colleagues and printer company extraordinaire, based in Kaunas, Lithuania.
If we raise the €3,000 that we’ve set as our goal, we will be able to print Issue 7 and ship it to each of our supporters in the last week of June, as scheduled.
We’ve already paid our contributors, designed the magazine and prepared it for printing.
Now, we need to pay our logistical partners and the magazine will be on its way to you.
If we raise the €5,000 euro we’ve set as our “Stretch Goal,” we’ll be able to ensure the printing of Issue 8, too.
