BEKKO

BEKKO is an association born in 2016 that deals with independent publishing, graphic design, illustration, self-production, printmaking, artistic workshops and cultural activities in order to enhance visual design. It is composed of Martina Paderni, Cecilia Cappelli, Elena Guglielmotti and Caterina Di Paolo, four illustrators and graphic designers from Friuli, Italy. Two of their projects are M.O.L.L.A. and Frute: M.O.L.L.A. is the magazine that we needed! It’s an independent publication for kids who love having fun and explore the world around them. Frute is an independent magazine that deals with intersectional feminism, sexual boundaries, social inclusion and prevention of discrimination, reflecting on independent publishing as a tool for social and territorial aggregation. Frute is inspired by the feminist magazines from the past, displaying a fresh communication, a contemporary and colorful design alongside with serious social contents such as gender equality, lgbt+ rights and sexuality.
