The City Is Ours #1: Discarded Gums

This series attempts to demonstrate that anything can be more interesting and meaningful than what it seems to be.

Halfway between a book and a magazine, but with the heart of a zine, "The City Is Ours" is a finite series of 6 bookzines that invites you to explore your city, town, or street with more curious eyes—one detail at a time.

In this first issue, we bring a provocative and new look to the pieces of gum found on the street, which too often we judge in a negative way only.

How many types of abandoned gum can you find? Can a piece of gum reveal something to us about the city and its inhabitants?
