theMOUCHOIR
The Handkerchief
An editorial handkerchief is a tampon against the world's mucus.
A small consolation for the lamentations of our foolish and immature times.
In addition to its theatrical productions, Studio MIRA is committed to providing its supporters and members with tangible proof of its mission to promote cutting-edge artistic experimentation by those under 35, through a periodic paper publication .
Mouchoir continues the great tradition of underground publishing during the Risorgimento in Italian-speaking Switzerland , drawing inspiration from major cultural magazines such as Le Figaro , L'Avant , The New Yorker , and L'Europeo , as well as contemporary publishing projects like Paper Rag . With an avant-garde and neo-symbolist spirit , it will be a home for young, independent authors and a platform for the most contemporary literary and iconographic experimentation. With a timeless design and a grand classical and decadent style, it will be an exclusive product for the real world. Its presence on social media will not be content, but an invitation: a declared absence from algorithmic circuits, a reminder of real life. For this reason, Mouchoir will strive to have at least a dozen spelling errors in its text, to prove it was not written by artificial intelligence.
The Mouchoir will be a piece of paper with great aesthetic and cultural value in its contents, yet rooted in a profound practicality in its physical form. A short magazine to read, touch, and carry with you—to shelter from the rain, to wrap bread in, to scribble phone numbers on, to cut out beautiful cartoons to keep in wallets and diaries, but above all, to blow your nose on .
