Low popular culture and social activism blend together in this magazine of three issues by Gruppo Strum, commissioned by Moma in 1972.

The three “Fotoromanzi” pamphlets feature “fictional articles on issues of architecture and Italian society from the perspectives of capitalists, workers, students, activists and architects.”
