About the project

The publication responds to a long-standing tendency of the West to reshape otherness according to its own value system, often silencing or distorting diverse cultural voices. Point Out counters this dynamic by offering a platform where Indigenous narratives can emerge authentically. Through its editorial choices and visual approach, the magazine encourages readers to adopt a different point of view—one that acknowledges plurality, respects cultural specificity, and questions inherited biases.

The magazine features maps, textures and illustrations based on the local art of indigenous peoples.
