The So-called “Women*’s Magazine”
September 7, 2025 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Every culture has at least one women’s magazine. In times of backlash against gender equity, bodily autonomy, queer and trans rights, what role can the so-called category of LGBTQ+ (aka FLINTA* in German) and women*’s independent magazines play by informing, expressing, and speaking out, and creating new strategies? As part of Idiecon 2025 in Hamburg, Germany, leading contemporary initiatives—Lilith, COLORAMA, and Afghan Punk Magazine—will share insights into their publishing practices, challenges, current projects, and visions of the future.
Digital input by Lilith, magazine/project presentation-input by selection of publishers, followed by a discussion and Q&A. Curated & moderated by Nina Prader aka Lady Liberty Press & Library.
Indiecon—Celebrating Independent Publishing Since 2014

This year, more than 140 publishers from over 30 countries—including Nigeria, Singapore, the USA, China and Japan—will be presenting their work, and Indiecon is organized by Brueder Creative Cooperative, a cooperative for design, code and content based in Hamburg and Berlin.
