Oath Magazine – Issue 1

Oath presents to the world a curated view of the sweeping frontier of contemporary African photography. We recognise the need to interpret the great scope of photography talent coming from across Africa by providing a much-needed platform for a diverse new generation of photographers. Our goal is to grant visibility to emerging photographers, celebrate overlooked archives, and champion talent. There is a vast amount of photographic output across the continent, yet the platforms through which to engage with it both on home soil and abroad are minimal.

It is our mission to support photographers and help tell their stories by being committed to delivering an exceptional print publication. By creating Oath to inspire and inform, we have in the processes built a strong platform that seeks to connect the photography community across Africa and to open a dialogue with global audiences. Oath is a leading authority on contemporary African photography. Our content is well-researched, carefully selected, and beautifully presented in print format. We are a valuable source of information to anyone interested in photography and more specifically to those working in the field of African photography. Oath published bi-annually and is based in Cape Town, South Africa.

Alhaus – Issue 6

In a world forever altered, how do we make sense of our new reality? There's no better place to start than within the opinions and ideas of writers, creators, artists and innovators, whose insights can help to shape a more inspiring, inclusive future.

In 144 pages of beautiful design, editorial and interviews, issue no. 6 of ALHAUS magazine considers a future in which nothing can be taken for granted. We speak to The Dotsfounder Pip Jamieson about the future of freelance and to Scandi design maven David Harrigan about the need for courage. Bestselling author Naoise Dolan holds forth on the joy of experimentation, while Black Lives Matter activist Amanda Áde defines the power of listening. As part of our ongoing commitment to #amplifymelanatedvoices, we explore the passion and craft of BIPOC through words and imagery, including that of British illustrator Kazvare.

While international travel remains off limits, ALHAUS magazine takes us on a photographic journey through Iran, Istanbul, Northern Ireland, San Francisco and Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. With stylish typographic choices and impactful layouts, issue 6 is a feast of colour and words designed to celebrate passion and creativity in this uncertain world.

Here and There 14
Nakako Hayashi

Now, with the benefit of smartphones, we can instantly connect with anyone we want and shop for things online anytime we wish. As it has become much easier to collect massive amounts of information in a blink of an eye, as well as to fulfill our desires, I believe now is the time to ask ourselves the question. “In what do we place our values?” We have consciously begun to make the effort to draw a map using our imagination, by connecting the present to the past, and to design our future beyond that map.

The title for this issue COLLAGE came to mind from an interview with Teppei Kaneuji which was part of a book of interviews I was putting together at the same time, called “Tsukuru Riyuu (The Reason to Create)”: A Series of Interviews by Nakako Hayashi. Stating that his media of expression as a collage, Kaneuji, in his attempt to redefine the concept of collage, says that “A collage is an act to personally resist the conventional time, value, history and sets of rules, and to resist a much larger force with an accumulation of smaller actions.”

BEYOND Limited Edition Book

Beyond is a limited-edition book dedicated to photography, art and fashion, curated by Take Care with the art direction of Studio Moretti Visani.

Beyond brings to light the creative process of four artists who work mainly on long term projects. Giovanni Fredi, Kata Geibl, Francesco Merlini, Alba Zari describe their research process beyond the images, showing diaries, sketches, references, techniques.

Beyond includes three fashion editorials. Eleonora Agostini + Miu Miu, Hubert Crabières + MSGM styled by Riccardo Linarello and Alessandro Furchino Capria + Bottega Veneta styled by Roberta Pinna, show three different “behind the scene” of their shootings, among contact sheets, domestic photo sets and mood boards.

Beyond features three unpublished projects by Ronni Campana, Federico Radaelli and Leonardo Scotti that with no words and no captions the three works interrupt sometimes the flow of the book with full page strong images. The three projects can be extracted from the book and be hanged as posters.

Off The Rails - Come As You Are’ Issue 16 straight from lock down.

In Issue 16 we mix it up a little. We look into the world of 'FaceTime Photography' with Tom Mitchell and others, as we find ourselves having to work differently and therefore our content represents that. We speak to MikeFlo and many others regarding the current movement towards Black Liberty and documenting the world around us as this happens. We talk to VEMIX about recreating history, to the extent of the world believing these incredible photoshopped images that he creates are the real deal. Higher Power hit their Brooklyn show bang at the beginning of the global pandemic as they all fought Covid. Drake Alexander takes us on a journey into his world as Savannah McMillan revisits her exhibitions to help the NHS. Artist Tejumola Adenuga blows us away with his dot work while the bold colours and installations of Julia Benz brings life to us all. We welcome back the incredible David Bellemere with a new exclusive editorial with Lola Alcaluzac, as well as new work from George Holz & Mike Miller.

IMPORTANT MAGAZINE ISSUE 3: VANITY

Issue 3 of IMPORTANT MAGAZINE is exploring the theme of VANITY. As a subject it not only plays to elegance and subtlety with intellectual flair but also individual signatures and elements of surprise. This issue contains an exposé of how we all are apt to create a shell identity on the way to our true selves and the shedding of all other fake IDs. Poetry that grasps the sky and the edge of a letter, feelings that overwhelm words. How do we as humans play with masquerades, movement, comparison, identification arranged as graphic intensity and sensory investigations. Photography and scenarios travel beyond 'mere' vanity to the realm of excellence and revelation. Skin texture and adornments being points to the sublime. All this warped and wefted as images and texts, ancient and modern.

Genesis Issue Vol I

Vingt Sept is an independent, biannual print and online publication dedicated to showcasing rule-breaking and fearless culture, arts, beauty and fashion ideas, from the world's most creative and inspiring. 

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. Where there is love there is life
Mahatma Gandhi

In Vingt Sept Vol I, our dossier examines GENESIS: a moment of rebirth encouraging us to step outside of the traditional conforms of a society we are used to existing in.

On the power of colour

Colour is science, psychology, and communication, but in art and design it is also about perception and choice.  Colour is fun, packed with emotion, and is personal, but it can also become dangerously political. In DAMN°76 we explore some of the most colourful myths and realities – from naked cowboys riding pink unicorns to the corrupt power of the American greenback – and get new insights into how the use of colour feeds and challenges our perceptions.  We look at the latest exhibitions and projects and talk to some of the artists and designers whose work dares us to recalibrate our thinking on the politics of colour – especially given the huge changes the digital revolution has introduced. 

ACT Magazine
Issue Number 2 - July 2020

See The ACT Creative Studios present the second issue of ACT, published under the title “WARDA AL HANI” 

The title of this issue is WARDA AL HANI (Madame Rose Hani - Part Two ) which is one of Gibran Khalil Gibran’s novels where he tells the story of a young woman who is married to a rich man, but she feels imprisoned. One day she finds the light inside the darkness in a young man and decides to leave her husband to witness love and modesty with this young person. Society judged her. Her powerful ex-husband made use of his power to put her reputation to question. but she didn’t really care because she knows everyone’s story and decided to have her own. She decides to live for love.

How many Wardas have you seen? Being judged for their life choices and their decisions. How many men used their powerful voice and social positions to put the reputation of the women that they love (who didn’t share the same interest) in question. How many persons are like Gibran, take the time to actually seek the truth and decide what is the right thing to do? We chose this novel by Gibran as the title of our second issue because it best describes how society objectifies woman for their actions.

A hint of what to come in this issue; So many women sharing the same and different point of views, stories about experiences they face as women, stories about daily battles and a society that keeps on reminding them that they need to do more. Not one day do they feel any kind of freedom to just be, and when they do, they are put to question again. Stories of women. A society that objectifies women.

ACT (Art, Culture and Talent) is a visual ART magazine, with a platform for expression. A place to create, communicate and inspire. It is a journey, a trip for your mind and an escape from your daily problems. A play with all the elements; a full official ACT.
The process we went through to create this magazine is the same we go through when writing a movie: the research and the longing for expression.

ACT creates a tribe so you can belong; it can be your comfort place and escape. It presents articles that express and represent each one of the contributors in their own words.

The subjects that ACT treats in every issue, are related to so many factors from social situations and observation, to politics, economy and travel; keeping in mind that art is at the center of everything; It is an inclusive project of all forms of visual expression.

ACT is the result of long years of cinema and filmmaking studies, art direction projects and a career of fashion and styling.

Artists cannot be framed into only one category or lifestyle. Once an artist, always an artist. A real one who breathes art day and night. One who sees it in every aspect of daily life where inspiration is just everywhere, and if you are really trained and your brain is used to seeing it, you will.

It is a long project of commitment, persistence and a process of observation.
A project of an outsider trying to fit in, but fighting the process with art. After long observation and research came the necessity to create a new art magazine. Reading may have been neglected for some time, and it has become a forgotten activity we used to enjoy and practice back in the day.

So, we made sure our visual, with all its artistry and creativity, is as important as the words and articles we included. One of the very amusing activity we used to enjoy was coloring, so we added a couple of pages for you to reconnect with yourself and re-center your mind.

Sometimes literature and poems can take you to places with one key to access: your imagination. It was IMPORTANT to add this extra level of inspiration, so you can create and imagine it yourself.

Take some time off your phone screens, because nothing can be compared to the smell of books. Disconnect from your phones and re-connect with yourself and get inspired.

The lights go off, a spotlight unveils the curtains, they announce:

“Please turn off your phones and enjoy the act”

People applause, the curtains open revealing the stage covered with decorative elements.
The orchestra plays music and you are taken by the violin.

You begin to see the ACT as the characters reveal the truth behind their masks.

Jezga Vol. 3

The third issue of JEZGA covers the theme Body As A Canvas / Body As A Tool. Exploring two aspects of our physical selves, and the ways these functions are used in artistic practices.

We have collected stories of birth, death, violence, nature, motherhood, love, detox, nature, sanity and warped perception – we want to celebrate the photographers, artists, and designers who daringly connect with their own bodies, as well as those of others, to use them in their craft and convey unique perspectives.

This issue has a reversible cover – split down the middle between 'Canvas' and 'Tool'. Don't worry about picking your favourite, you'll get both.

OOF #5

Issue five of OOF dives down into the emotional safety net that football provides for so many people. On the cover, we've got the amazing Senegalese photographer Omar Victor Diop, interviewed by Ayodeji Rotinwa. Deeper in the mag, Justin Hammond gets all misty-eyed over Martin Andersen's photos of pre-match mischief, Rosemary Waugh explores the unravelling of masculinity in Corbin Shaw’s football flags, and Lydia Blakeley tells us why Delia Smith is a modern icon. Elsewhere, we've got Orit Gat dropping some art theory on a photo of Dele Alli and Eddy Frankel comparing crowds to bacteria in William Reginald Howe Browne's stunning painting of a Wembley FA Cup final.

Summer 2020

Created in one of the most tumultuous times in our 26 years as a print publication, Juxtapoz is excited to share our newest Quarterly edition, Summer 2020 Issue #214. For the cover story and artwork, we had Brooklyn-based painter, Kelly Beeman, premiere one of her newest watercolor works, a painting that spoke to our current global mood of both harmony, togetherness, anxiety and fear. We also share in-depth conversations Jose Parla, Felipe Pantone, Calida Rawles, Anna Weyant, Jess Johnson, Molly Bounds and Koichi Sato, as well as stories on the history of Levi's, Heath Ceramics. Summer 2020 also highlights the works of Bill Posters, Kristine Potter, Yu Maeda, 1010. And in perhaps a perfect tale of these past months, we get a journal from Martin Machado as he took a riverboat from San Francisco to Sacramento, at the early stages of the pandemic, away from the news and one with the natural world.
