BLU Magazine

BLU Magazine: "Contribute -- Collaborate -- Raise Consciousness and Cash"

Now inactive, BLU Magazine was published every two months out of New Paltz, New York. BLU was a forward-thinking journal of revolutionary culture composed of a mix of political thought, artistic feeling and musical commentary. It was a multimedia force that features rap, spoken word, visual arts, writing, poetry, reporting and a unifying focus on spirituality and revolution. Each copy of BLU magazine featured a free compilation CD from various artists. At the time, each issue, with cd included, was sold for $5. 

BLU was conceived as a nerve connecting cells of people; a forum where ideas can be exchanged and actions formulated between a widening circle of socially active individuals and organizations. The magazine and CDs were produced by a collective with bases in New York, London, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, Oakland and Sydney. Blu magazine was a publication of the Revolution Center, located and funded by Woodcrest Bruderhof, a 76 year old movement for peace and justice. 

To see copies of this publication in their entirety, please email the Freedom Archives at info@freedomarchives.org or call us at 415-863-9977. We do not have permission to duplicate the music contained on the cds.
