A presentation at the Vancouver Art Book Fair 2015, by graphic designers Sara Kaaman and Stina Löfgren. Founded in 2005, the magazine has gone through several incarnations—both visually and editorially. And now, to celebrate its 10th year of existence, we suggest yet another way to frame the content, where personal stories and essays meet vanguard visuals. What are the legacies and her-stories in feminist self-publishing? How can we visualize the collective process of the making of Girls Like Us? And in a world saturated with form and image, which tools can we use to create content that stirs and affects?

GIRLS LIKE US magazine finally lands in Stockholm with a crispy physical issue nr 7. Join us for a celebration at Minibar Artistspace at 6PM Wednesday December 9th! At 7PM we'll screen the film "Picaresques" by Mariah Garnett, and at 8.30PM Vaska Fimpen, the punk queen alter ego of our favorite artist Iris Smeds, will play some songs on the theme "Sad Pony / Hot Legs".

We're so happy to share with you GIRLS LIKE US Issue Nr. 7: BODY 120 pages exploring the body and bodies, inside out and outside in. Bodies that dance and move. Bodies making waves. Body double. Bodies at work and working with the body. Using the body as an instrument. The body as medium and massage of touch and being touched. The single, singular body as the very basis for a ‘we’.

We celebrate the Berlin premiere of the new issue of GIRLS LIKE US, themed BODY. For the launch event, contributor to the issue, the New York based artist and fame of Berlin's greatest Kotti-Shop Annette Knol will show materials of her ongoing research of "Lesbian Hands". The launch is part of the 4-day gathering called FRENCH KISSES: On Tips of Tongues, and Feeling as Taste, hosted by the Side Room (Amal Alhaag, & Girls Like Us co-editor Maria Guggenbichler) and District Berlin in various locations across the city of Berlin. For the launch at FRENCH KISSES we extend our invitation to the "B2B DJ set" for everyone to play kissing songs, songs to kiss to, songs that make people kiss, songs that are kisses, and kisses that are songs.

Summer! Half of the word summer consists of the word mer, which in Swedish means more, and in French means sea, both good, and occasions salty. And what is then the sum of summer? A drink perhaps? w. ice. Mosquito bites. Tan lines. Autobahns. Sunstrokes. Sweaty towels. Sanded thoughts. Friday! Half of the word Friday consists of day, and half of the day is the evening, and I promise you this will be a good one.

Also included are two of his curatorial projects: Queer Zines, incorporating more than 100 queer zines from the punk era until today; and Ancestors, a personal archive of books, editions, and ephemera that form a fragmentary and incoherent historical underpinning to the overall project.

Girls Like Us Magazine at Frank. Ever changing borders, formats, and je ne sais pas quoi of utterly boring lesbian, straight and feminist clichés past and beyond, Girls Like Us magazine is an international, independent magazine focusing on great personalities and unique visions, people who manage to live their lives on their own terms, changing society from within. Girls Like Us started out as a queer/lesbian publication, but over the years it has opened up to feature interesting women in general, all the while sticking to its lesbian roots.

Come and join us for a night over great performances and a little dance too! SOPHIE (London) Light Asylum protégé SOPHIE is a London-based musician and producer. SOPHIE’s music spins you upside down, dips you in water, flashes strobe lights at you, takes you on a slow incline to the peak and then drops you vertically down a smoky tunnel. It’s dance music that sounds very new and very high definition while at the same time hinting towards the familiar with a nostalgic streak. SOPHIE performed in different clubs and art spaces in both Europe and America and has an album coming out on London’s Huntley and Palmers label in January 2012.

Girls Like Us in collaboration with Barbi(e)turix presents the official aftershow of No Bra, the German ex-London now New York based performer with no bra.

Please join us for a new Girls Like Us happening, featuring COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER, a lezzie porn movie and LIGHT ASYLUM, a haunting band. We start the evening with the Dutch premiere of COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER, a 69-minute sociosexual video by artists A.K. Burns and A.L. Steiner. The movie - set in the larger surroundings of New York, is inspired by 60s and 70s male gay porn and moves away from porn cliches such as prefab dildo's and butch fucks femme in police uniform. Instead, the video fucks with all the tropes and in the end is erotic, funny, weird and perverse.

Come and join us for the new Girls Like Us magazine release party, organised in collaboration with adidas. We invited a bunch of our friends to perform so we proudly announce:

Ingie Pop Venus X (GHE20 G0TH1K) Dynasty Handbag No Bra (Live PA) Light Asylum (DJ set)
