SHUKYU: What's Football Culture? (10 year anniversary issue)

SHUKYU

Regular price £10.00

Tax included.

From the publisher:

SHUKYU Magazine was first published on May 23, 2015, with the aim of looking at football as something deeply connected to society and culture. This year, we are proud to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Keeping a magazine alive isn’t easy these days, but we’ve made it this far only because of your continued support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

For our 10th anniversary, we decided to take a different approach with this issue. It reflects on ten years of SHUKYU, and features conversations with those who’ve been part of our journey. In some ways, you could say it’s the magazine’s “B-side.”

In the interviews and conversations, we invited guests who have been involved in SHUKYU’s journey to talk about what goes on behind the scenes and the potential football holds beyond the pitch.

We also explore a wide range of themes SHUKYU has covered over the years — from design, photography, fashion, and architecture to social impact and community — through the unique perspectives of people working in each of these fields.

We’ve made every issue of SHUKYU with one hope — that it might inspire someone in some way.

This anniversary issue reflects that hope more than ever.

Even if it’s your first time reading SHUKYU, we think you’ll find something interesting inside.
It would mean a lot to us if you gave it a read.
