UNIMAGAZINE
The International Puppetry Magazine by UNIMA
Published by UNIMA with the dedication of a committed international editorial committee, UNIMAGAZINE features over 40 articles contributed by puppet magazines and National Centres from across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.
Spanning 200 pages, the magazine is structured around four key themes—Origins, Languages, Medium, and Territories—each offering unique insights, stories, traditions, exchanges, and perspectives on the art of puppetry worldwide.
From Brazil to Uganda, Iceland to Canada, the Philippines to New Zealand, and many other countries, UNIMAGAZINE invites you to explore global puppetry through a rich mosaic of voices. It also includes portraits of prominent figures recognized by UNIMA, as well as a non-exhaustive international directory.
Available formats: Digital download (free participation possible) and print edition available for purchase in English. French and Spanish versions coming soon!
