= CENSORED (magazine) =

Censored is a French feminist magazine launched in 2018. It focuses on gender-related topics in today’s society with a political and artistic perspective.

History
Clémentine and Apolline Labrosse, later joined by their brother Louis, initiated the magazine project. The siblings came from a traditional, bourgeois Catholic family from Lyon from which they wanted to free themselves. Clémentine and Apolline went to live in Paris for their studies. The first one was then 22 years old and was an aspiring journalist at Vice while studying at the Street School. She also co-wrote an article on the dangerousness of sanitary protections in Libération in 2017. She has had the idea of creating her own magazine for some time now. As for her sister Apolline, who is 22 years old at the time and a fashion student, she finds that fashion is not engaged enough or seriously into feminist problematics. They are experiencing an intimate revolution combined with a political and feminist awakening that will give them a desire for action. Therefore, they decide to collaborate and use their journalistic and artistic skills to bring the project to fruition. Over the course of a year, they will work with about 30 volunteers and their brother Louis to create the magazine, which will be launched in the fall of 2018.

Editorial
Censored is a quarterly print magazine that was launched in November 2018. The choice of the paper format is explained by Clementine Labrosse's desire to avoid social network censorship. It was initially distributed from hand to hand. The magazine is currently available in Paris, Lyon, Saint-Etienne or Marseille. It is now possible to order it directly on the official website. This bimonthly magazine aims to be societally engaged and artistic. The price of a number is between 8.5 and 10 euros. Apolline and Clémentine Labrosse are planning to donate part of it to feminist associations. They did not receive grants so have funded the project themselves.The core of the target population are women between the ages of 18 and 30, but more generally the younger generation of gender-sensitive men and women. The magazine adopts an editorial line that shows how intimacy relates to politics in the current society and women’s condition. It gathers reflections on the political use of the body, gender-based stereotypes’ deconstruction through a raw and sensual aesthetic combined with an emancipatory discourse.

Clémentine Labrosse is the publisher and editor-in-chief; she takes care of the journalistic part: editorial, interviews, articles writing. Apolline Labrosse is in charge of the creative part as the artistic director: she managed the collages, shootings, and layout. Louis Labrosse works on the development side of the magazine by finding sales points and communication advertisers. They choosed to collaborate with committed advertisers who are in live with their values and aesthetic assuming that “it's all politics when you're a woman”.The journalistic content includes interviews, articles and tributes and goes hand to hand with the creative form of photographs, montages, colors and materials.
