| THE SIAFU HOMEPAGE IS BACK ONLINE! Click here. Siafu Magazine is focussed on providing a forum for voices from across the Montreal community spectrum. Established in 2006, the editorial collective came together around the vision of a Montreal magazine that digs deeper and works harder to put Montrealers and their concerns front and centre in every issue. The name siafu comes from a type of ant known for living in colonies of up to 20 million, working together to provide for each member and to protect the entire group from the largest of predators, including elephants. Our hope is for this magazine to be one of those forces working for change around the world by creating a forum for views and perspectives that have been blocked from the mainstream media. At Siafu, we believe that we need more information that is credible, relevant and accessible to people beyond the elite. Because these kinds of sources that provide alternative information are sorely lacking. Because information is an important tool to inspire action and is a necessary prerequisite for major change in policy and political norms. Our Goals: * To provide news and analysis from a viewpoint that is not generally represented in mainstream media * Particularly from people who generally aren’t represented or are under represented * In a way that empowers and allows people and communities to represent themselves * To examine the power structures of the subject and society, and to recognize that everything is political * Providing an alternative to the agenda of those in positions of power MONTREAL MIRROR INTERVIEW January 2007 |
