“DIK Fagazine is the foremost queer arts magazine from Central and Eastern Europe, and not for lack of competition. Published in Polish and English in a format that moves surreptitiously between the two, DIK Fagazine addresses itself to: everyone interested in arts and men.” Issue 2 is about the queerer side of Polish national pride; artist Kasia Kozyra displays her rubber dick. In the “Arty Farty” issue, Wilhelm Sasnal talks about the homophic nationalist propaganda supported by a young generation of Poles; a photograph of Pawel Althamer’s Ballon (2007), a parade-grade male nude, is reproduced here. Issue 4 explores the sensitive masculinity of hip-hoppers.”
