The Word Magazine turns 5!

After five years and 25 editions, time is ripe to throw ourselves a little party, get the champagne out and celebrate. What can you expect? A night of Belgian beats (we've enlisted the cream of the crop of Belgium's beat scene to bring some bass to the dance floor), photography treats (the launch of a commemorative photo book we've been working on for the past three months) and future foundations (we're about to ask you to put your money where your mouth is and show some love). Read on for all the practical details.

‘The Word Magazine presents 5′ – A commemorative photo book.

Limited to a 1,000 copies and hand-numbered, ‘The Word Magazine presents 5′ features a selection of 50 photographs that were originally published in The Word Magazine and on its website between 2008 and 2013.

‘The Word Magazine shelf’ by Theophile’s Papers.
