In each issue of Dumbo feather five remarkable individuals tell you their stories. Their backgrounds and dreams are as unique as they are but what unites them is their creativity, passion and integrity, and somewhere they found the courage to fly. In their own words they tell you how they discovered their passion, what inspires them, the lows as well as the highs on the journey and ultimately why they do what they do.
Each person’s passion is unique whether it’s baking the best 100% natural sourdough bread in the world, producing fabulous fashion in remote Northern Pakistan, writing poetry, making music, fighting for human rights, finding a cure for malaria, painting, choreographing, exploring, wine making, film making…
Dumbo feather has been described as a ‘mook’ (half mag, half book). It’s like a magazine because it’s produced quarterly, sold in newsagents and supported by advertising partners. It’s like a book because it’s a great read (almost like a series of mini-autobiographies), sold in bookstores and design stores and feels like one with it’s beautiful matt paper and weighty cover. It’ll stand on a bookshelf no problemo.
Dumbo feather respects its readers (we do not ‘dumb down’ content), the environment (by printing on 100% recycled paper using soy-based inks by one of the most eco-friendly printers in the country), and its contributors’ work.
Dumbo feather is created by a small team of devoted individuals with love and passion.
