Ricardo Velmor of Anal Magazine is visiting NYC from Mexico City, and the Bureau is happy to welcome him. Ricardo will talk about Anal Magazine and the work that they do in Mexico at 8 PM.

Anal Magazine is a printed publication addressed to the gay male community that is interested in getting to know art, design, photography, literature, fashion, eroticism, and many other Mexican and international creative expressions. This magazine is about the work of artists who experiment with masculinity in a wide threshold. Our main goal is to create a solid, intelligent yet appealing magazine for all our readers. The publication coexists with exhibitions, videoart shows and parties within the whole Anal universe.
