Mais 12 is a zine that explores the past, present, and future of Lisbon through the diverse perspectives of twelve individuals. We seek to examine the city’s economic and cultural transformations over the last twelve years and imagine what the next twelve might bring.
Our project features intimate interviews with a diverse group of people, ranging from different ages, genders, sexual orientations, races, economic statuses, and points of view. We will discuss topics such as the effect of Airbnb on the economy, gentrification, globalization, cultural identity, queer issues and racism, music and food.
