editor’s note:
Wow, where to begin! There has been a lot happening over the course of the last two months - not all of it good - but there is cause for optimism.
The instances of communities coming together to stand up and be heard in the past few weeks carry with them hope. It’s a hope that people, no matter their different backgrounds or beliefs, can come together with beautiful and positive results - it’s what community is built on.
In this edition, we talk with production dream-team duo SOBSTORY, discover the taste of Sweet Salone with Maria Bradford and study female bodybuilders with photographer Celia Croft. We discover an inner universe with Galax-eye, talk about Wes Anderson’s scenery with artist Lauren Elizabeth and discuss the number four with Tia Gordon. Plus there’s loads more.
Enjoy!
