Desterro’s newspaper was a project developed by designer Filipe Matos during the year of 2022. Filipe invited several regular visitors of the association to produce a cover, back and core for the monthly edition. You can still buy the last copies of the newspaper in Desterro’s bar.

“Designing a journal is like a black box. The Black Box, the dance floor of Desterro. The dance floor like a game of possibilities in collaboration with the edges of the infinite, or the infinite itself, if we consider the imagination and will, in doses equitably distributed, to infinity. An object of paper, of pre-defined dimensions, where the possibilities of play and counterplay are immeasurable. An exercise for two in which one artist invites another to design their intent, collectively. An object of front cover, back cover and core. Space to imagine, text and sound. Not to believe that a journal could have sound is to not believe in the potential of Desterro as a transforming and subversive place, And, by extension, it’s journal.”
