ūp by raīz
raīz ūnique people “ūp” is the scholarship uniquely funded through the proceeds of raīz journal, a biennial book publication that embodies a fresh approach to sharing knowledge across various fields.
edited by antonio matrēs, raīz journal is not just a publication but an enlightening experience, offering an interactive blend of original texts, photography, audios, videos, and textures. encased in a handmade box (in its first edition this box was made by faina design),
each limited edition journal is a piece of art in itself, designed to inspire and move.
all proceeds from the sale of raīz journal, along with any subsequent donations, will exclusively benefit the raīz ūnique people scholarship program.
