The unsold magazine becomes a piece worth keeping
Shedia Art uses unsold copies of the Greek street magazine as material for objects. Reworking the paper preserves fragments of print in a form that can outlast the original issue. Making and selling the pieces gives the workshop another activity alongside magazine distribution.
In practice. People experiencing exclusion train to turn unsold street-magazine paper into saleable objects.
What to keep in view
Training targets and achieved employment or sales are separate figures.

The programme’s published description connects making with training and work for people facing exclusion. The physical piece is a useful starting point: look at how the paper is shaped and held together. Programme targets should be reported separately from jobs or sales achieved.
