Dumbo Feather is out now [08.07.2011]

Behind extraordinary ideas, there are extraordinary people. *Dumbo Feather * is a magazine about these people.

Every quarter, Dumbo Feather scours the globe for stories of people who inspire us, excite us, or just slow us down. Dumbo people don’t need to be famous—they just need to be people worth knowing.

This issue features an Australian exclusive and extremely rare photo shoot with “Australia’s most important voice” – indigenous musician and singer Gurrumul and interview with his “brother in arms” and the man who would speak for him, Michael Hohnen.

Readers get to know the man behind internet phenomenon TED, Chris Anderson; Ati Citron, the founder of the world’s first academic program in medical clowning (yes-clowning!); two time Walkley award-winning journalist and Iraqi refugee, Fouad Hady; and film and television producer Robyn Kershaw.

“There is no other magazine out there like this one,” said Pittman. “It breaks pretty much every rule of what a magazine should be. That’s why I love it. It has a unique beauty – both on the pages and in its soul.“ said editor Patrick Pittman.

The latest edition of internationally-renowned Australian magazine Dumbo Feather is on sale now and ready to be savoured by curious readers who are looking for something unlike anything else on the market. Issue 28 is in all good newsagents and book stores, or online from dumbofeather.com.
