TBI, magazine for the future of the city
TBI, magazine for the future of the city is a magazine founded by Iztok Hvala and Matevz Straus and published by Klub Idrijskih Studentov (Students’ Association Idrija – KIŠ) and association Idrija 2020
The magazine highlights young local artists, unconventional sports, and innovative projects and discusses issues such as social sciences-natural sciences gap and potential of heritage. It also represents a new level of possibilities with publishing in local context. Around the magazine gathered a group of like-minded young ambitious Idrijans – many of them studying and working abroad, e.g. in London, Brussels and Copenhagen, – that wanted to take a step further in youth participation, address the ignored challenges and co-create the future of their hometown with a deep respect for its heritage and the possibilities it provides.
