WORKSHOP LOCATION: Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
ANZA is a magazine based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s largest city, and was initiated in 2011 by the founders of the Zurich-based project studio and magazine Camenzind. Co-founder Benedikt Boucsein explains the background:
“We ran across the situation in East Africa more or less by accident whilst visiting a friend in Dar es Salaam, holding a lecture, and engaging in a discussion with students. It instantly caught our attention. Despite extreme urban growth in the area, there was not a single locally-produced critical voice in the form of an architectural magazine in the whole region. We threatened to return and produce a magazine and came back a year later with a team of friends and some hardware. The students whom we had initially engaged with formed our core team for the following four weeks.
During the workshop we wrote, designed and produced a primer issue from start to finish. Our friends – photographers, architects, graphic designers and artists – guided the process and held seminars on interview techniques, photography, editing, layout, publicity, websites and distribution, and helped set up a strategy and a magazine library. Issue 1 was printed in a run of 5,000 copies and distributed throughout the region and Europe. Today, ANZA (Swahili for ‘start’), run by the same team, is the only critical architectural magazine in East Africa. Two more issues have been printed, a third one is ready to go to press.”
