The main subject of the magazine is the experience of gender. NO_PIC_NO_CHAT photographs and talks - with transgender people, but not only. Without deceiving themselves or others, they talk about their way to self-acceptance and pride of their body and their sexuality in the most intolerant country in the European Union. The magazine's guest is also the legend of queer culture, Canadian director, photographer and visual artist - Bruce LaBruce, whose body of work boldly and humorously levitates above all cultural norms

Michal Sosna created a zin, in which he photographs and interviews people like no one has dared so far – he captures very intimate things pertaining to one’s body, almost pornographically, yet very intimate, sometimes painful, reaching to the essence of his character's existence. Michał's heroes and heroines are people with various social backgrounds, who speak diverse languages, are of different age groups, each with their own peculiar sizes and shapes - with disabilities, tattooed, scarred. And on the surface of those bodies there is the expression of their decisions, emotions, and traumas as well.
No Pic No Chat zine is a tale of how we all have the right to love, to have sex, to be in harmony with our bodies. The zine is also about suffering, searching, courage, and finally reconciliation and strength. Without any pathos, these stories will touch every reader down to its very core, and will feel obscene only to those who really separate themselves from what being a real human creature is.
