Backstage Talks Magazine is a collection of dialogues and essays on design, business and social responsibility. Published once a year by comms studio Milk based in Bratislava.

What makes it different to the rest?
We focus on dialogues, and we have no interest in just showcasing projects. We want to learn from the way our interviewees think and approach their work and the industry as a whole. As designers and entrepreneurs talking to other creative entrepreneurs about design and business, we can discuss what’s behind the scenes.

About the new issue (8th)
What does it take to keep going? How can we make sure our work is sustainable in all senses of the word? How do we know what is enough in a world that demands constant growth? Do we have enough patience for the things that take time? And shouldn’t we just quit? We asked world-class creatives, including Jessica Hische, Pablo Rochat, Wilfrid Wood, DIA Studio and Emily Keegin, to help us figure it out.

Graphic designer Martin Jenca runs the comms agency Buro Milk, is editor-in-chief of Backstage Talks, curator of the By Design Conference and design-focused bookstore Brot Books Deli in Bratislava.
