After surviving what he describes as mental health malpractice as a teenager, Locura en Argentina editor Alan Robinson found himself dubious about the psychiatric system’s ability to meaningfully help people in distress. Locura en Argentina wasn’t Robinson’s first attempt to do this. “Magazines like Locura en Argentina allow minorities that historically haven’t had access to express themselves to have a web magazine where they can express themselves,” he explains. “Not to fight, just to express.”Through Locura en Argentina, Robinson aims to provide readers with a magazine that represents them and the “mad cultures” found in Argentina. During its first year, Locura en Argentina has seen growth in both online readership and social media followings, especially from Buenos Aires, the capital city where Robinson himself is based.
