Bum is an independent Finnish zine of culture, design and architecture, printed in a limited number of copies using editorial techniques from the 1980s. 
In each issue, editors meet emerging talents in these three disciplines exhibiting projects or making critical articles on existing projects.
Printing is done with soy-based ink in risograph. 
The resulting editorial product is particularly sui generis for two reasons: it is a limited zine in terms of number of pages, but the type of almost artisanal printing makes each copy unique.
It is a zine that finally breaks a pattern and a taboo with the reader: it openly says what its costs are, in a clear and concise way we find them expressed on the site. 

ISSUE 2 - JUST
What makes a public space good? When is a species invasive? Why can't I find a good public toilet? BUM Edition 2 collects a series of articles, projects and works of art by artists, architects and designers around the theme "Just".
