Makeshift is a print and online magazine about creativity in informal economies, from the favelas of Rio to the Internet underworld. These are environments where regulations and resources may be scarce but where ingenuity is used incessantly for survival, enterprise, and self-expression. Makeshift is about people, the things they make, and the places where they make them.
