AOWC Special Edition: Worlds Of Homelessness

The Goethe-Institut L.A.'s Worlds of Homelessness is a project that offers an interdisciplinary engagement with the issue of homelessness and its many related themes such as the gap between rich and poor, participation, inequality, gentrification, racism, and migration. 

Arts of the Working Class is a global art newspaper that rethinks the distribution of poverty and wealth, art, and culture. It is published and edited by Alina Ana Kolar, María Inés Plaza Lazo & Paul Sochacki, for the streets of the world. As COVID-19 has disrupted every way of life, Arts of the Working Class has been forced to look for alternative modes of funding the newspaper, rather than solely relying on advertisements as they have in the past. They've been exploring new avenues of distribution that still allow everyone to support the street vendors.

For the launch of Arts of the Working Class No. 11 “Faux Culture,” which includes the AOWC Special Edition Nr. 5, they are offering two options, an issue 11 launch package, and an e-paper, as alternatives to buying the paper in stores or on the streets.
