The new issue of London-based Kilimanjaro is out. This time, the poster-size publication is featuring works from beloved William Burroughs & Gregor Muir – among others.

First published in 2003, Kilimanjaro Magazine is an art and photography magazine produced independently from London. With its signature semiotic covers and innovative format, Kilimanjaro speaks to a global creative community; an ‘art thirsty’ target audience seemingly tired of beautiful but empty publications. With back-to-back creative talent, an evolving broadsheet format and cutting edge design Kilimanjaro has established itself as an art magazine offering a point of creative difference.
