editor’s note:
Change is afoot. Change isn’t always good. But in this instance, change is very much needed. Extrapolate from that what you need.
We don’t want to bang on about Covid or lockdown, but one thing that has become very apparent in recent times is how that moment in time changed things for a lot of people. Now, two years on, the subjects we talk to still reference the pandemic as the beginning of a shift in the way they think, act or create.
In this edition, we talk to Indoor Pets about their comeback, we get all fired up with cult chef Andrew Clarke and snap behind the curtains of creativity with photographer Dan Fontanelli. We draw monsters with Ecamoga, serve up some slam poetry with Sven Stears and
learn how to keep wine better with Natalia Suta. Plus there’s loads more.
Enjoy!
