Belio: Kudos!
Belio is a bilingual (Spanish/English) art magazine from Spain that has been around for 10 years. Their web site is nice but is only Spanish. (Plus, you can get back issues in the web store, but publication dates are a mystery.)
Each issue is dedicated to a specific theme and has artist spreads with accompanying essays. Overall it's pretty informative and they try to make it cohesive. I recently picked up the issue on Wildlife (I mean it had Darwin on the cover, could I not?) which has in the editorial:
Belio is an art and design publication, not an ecology, activism or animal liberation magazine. But as human beings, those of us who bring these pages into being also have hearts and consciences. We might be carnivores, but there is a big difference between eating meat and allowing animals' mistreatment for unjustified ends, from the genetic adulteration of species to abandoning pets in the street, passing through the extermination of animals with brutality and gratuitous violence.
I love how they explicitly aim to be an art/design magazine with a conscience.
I love how they introduce the reader to broad themes in an intelligent and non-self-righteous way.
Kudos!
