about
ÅBEN is a political design magazine that aims to challenge the often stereotypical and negative view of people seeking asylum. The 100-pages magazine features a wide range of content including photographs, poetry, recipes, personal stories, cultural insights, and factual information, all of which to shows the human behind an asylum seeker.

The magazine, named 'ÅBEN' (meaning 'OPEN' in English), serves as a reminder for readers to question their own level of open-mindedness. While most people can agree to the fact that they are open to most things in life, the name challenges them to consider if they’re open to understanding asylum seekers and their culture as well.
