About Elska Haifa:

This issue was made in beautiful Haifa, a vibrantly diverse city. Inside this edition you'll get to know a dozen local men from the local LGBTQ community, comprising representatives from the city's sizeable Jewish, Arab, and post-Soviet cohorts, presented through a combination of intimate photography and honest storytelling.

Each of the participants was shot in their city's streets and many too were photographed in their own homes, dressed in their own style and sometimes not dressed at all. Each also wrote their own text, printed here in Arabic, Hebrew or Russian (all followed by English translations, where applicable). Topics range from tales of love and loss, of seeking self-acceptance, of searching for a better and freer life, of ‘sexcapades', and of what life is like for a queer person living in this place.

‘Elska Haifa’ features twelve chapters, dedicated to the following local participants: George N, Semion K, Mohammad R, Boris L, Uri K, Yehonathan B Y, Guy L, Dia H, Eyal R, Dotan M, Alex P, Amir S

We also recommend ordering the companion zine ‘Elska Ekstra Haifa’, available separately, to get more exclusive content. This includes several more participants for whom there wasn't room in the main mag plus outtakes of some of our favourite Haifa boys. Also included is a guest submission by the Dutch artist Rik Besselink.

Details and Specs:

The e-version of ‘Elska Haifa’ is 176 pages. It has been adapted from the print version and so there are some differences, such as the moving of double-page spreads onto a single page and a few alternate images.
