Lumpen Magazine is a news and culture magazine featuring the work of emerging and established artists and writers. It features editorials, interviews, and reviews focused on current events and emerging cultural trends. Published monthly until 1998, it is now quarterly.
This edition of Lumpen magazine marks our first research foray into better understanding these places where people don’t wear masks, the places that supposedly vote for Trump. Forgotten places, “the rural”. It’s an attempt at understanding. It’s the beginning of a conversation we need to have if we want to stave the growing tide of authoritarian impulses here in the US.
