Studio Fontana

Editorial


Looking to craft new narratives that reimagine what it means to be collective?

Extending on his research, Gabriel Fontana develops and supports editorial projects rooted in the margins — where art, social justice, sports, design and queer pedagogies intersect. He advocates for narratives that challenge norms, shift perspectives, and open up new imaginaries.
