Having celebrated our tenth anniversary earlier this year, the 21st edition of HUNGER, accompanied by a relaunch of our website and online presence, represents a new era for the magazine as we look ahead to the next decade. Encapsulating a sense of renewed focus and energy, our theme for Autumn/Winter 2021 is “Take Back Control”.

Leading the issue are a host of cover stars whose unique vision exemplifies the issue’s mission. First up, musician and actress Camila Cabello who discusses her turn to acting with fairytale remake Cinderella, advocating for human rights issues in Cuba from the US, her relationship with Shawn Mendes and battling body image issues. 

Also heading up the issue are two stars of Sex Education as the third season of the cult television hits screens. Actor Gillian Anderson, who plays resident sex therapist Dr Jean Milburn, discusses her Golden Globe-winning turn in The Crown, her public advocacy and philanthropy work, and the wide scale importance of a project such as Sex Education in prompting dialogue around topics of sex and consent. Emma Mackey explores Sex Education’s legacy as well as a series of forthcoming roles revisiting female figures of the past.

Lydia West discusses the ways that appearing in It’s A Sin have changed her life professionally and personally, her working relationship with Russell T Davies and her forthcoming roles alongside Hollywood royalty such as Stanley Tucci, Uma Thurman and Mike Myers.

In conversation with Kenneth Branagh, Jamie Dornan discusses his best-known roles in The Fall and 50 Shades of Grey, returning to his Northern Irish roots for upcoming film Belfast and working with Judi Dench.

Acht Jahre Das Wetter. Und: Das Wetter #25. Diesmal mit 128 Seiten Inhalt - ab sofort im Vorverkauf! Offizieller Releasetermin ist der 20. September, wenn ihrs bei uns vorbestellt oder ein Abo habt, kommt es aber voraussichtlich ein paar Tage eher. Und jetzt: zum Inhalt!

Diesmal kommt Das Wetter mit drei Cover-Stories:

01 - BADMÒMZJAY
Die jüngste Künstlerin ever auf dem Wetter-Cover hört in der Öffentlichkeit auf den Namen badmòmzjay. Wir haben die in Brandenburg aufgewachsene Jordan, die bereits mit 18 zu einer kleinen Generations-Ikone avanciert, weil sie mit ihrer Musik, sowie ihrer öffentlichen Performance als Künstlerin bereits zum Release ihres Debütalbums als Vorbild für junge weibliche gelesene Menschen und queere Kids gilt. Wir trafen (Text: Jan Wehn, Bild: Meklit Fekadu Tsige) badmómzjay auf einem Basketball-Court, sprachen mit ihr ausführlich und fotografierten sie. Das Ergebnis lest ihr auf einem guten Dutzend Seiten im Heft.

02 - DRANGSAL 
Mit Drangsal, der vor ein paar Tagen sein drittes Album Exit Strategy veröffentlicht hat, waren wir im KLO. Nein, nicht auf Toilette, sondern in der gleichnamigen Kneipe. Bei der Reise durch einen der kuriosesten Orte der Hauptstadt entstanden zum einen tolle Fotos (Nora Hollstein), zum anderen aber auch ein sehr privates Porträt eines Künstlers, der sich lange unnahbar gab. Was auch damit zu tun haben könnte, dass sich Autor (Sascha Ehlert) und Künstler (Max Gruber) seit einer halben Ewigkeit kennen. Damit aber genug verraten. Den Rest lest ihr, auch auf 12 Seiten, im: Heft.

03 - THELMA BUABENG
Thelma Buabeng dreht, spielt, moderiert, lässt sich nichts vom Pferd erzählen und kämpft. Uns und euch erzählt die tolle Schauspielerin, die ihr vielleicht schon im Theater, vielleicht aber auch auf der Leinwand oder im Fernsehen gesehen habt, wie sie das alles macht. Und: wie sie es schafft dabei positiv zu bleiben. Kleiner Spoiler: Außerdem berichtet Thelma davon, wie es war mit Wu-Tsang und Virgil Abloh zu arbeiten, deshalb als erste Schwarze Frau in einer Menswear-Show von Louis Vuitton zu laufen und lüftet ihr Geheimrezept. Das alles und viel mehr (geschrieben von Zeynep Bozbay, bebildert von Joanna Legid): im Heft.

Darüber hinaus in Das Wetter #25: Begegnungen mit dem Autor Enrico Ippolito, den Musiker*innen Babyjoy, Nene H, Edwin Rosen, Sons of Raphael und Weil, sowie mit Chelo Wieland von SAM über die Arbeit an dem Album Archiv und über seinen Bruder Samson.

Außerdem erstmals in Das Wetter: Pati Valpati mit ihrer Kolumne Patiarchat. Und mit einem Dossier über gegenwärtige Formen des politischen Aktivismus: Die Welt als Spielfeld an Ungerechtigkeiten. 

Darüber hinaus gibt es eine Bildstrecke der Welt-reisenden Fotografin Johanna Maria Fritz und eine neue Ausgabe der Sammlung Simonow. Und wir haben diesmal so viel literarische Beiträge wie lange nicht mehr gedruckt. In Das Wetter #25 bekommt ihr also Short Stories und mehr von: Mazlum Nergiz, Pedro Crescenti, Jovana Reisinger, Teresa Guggenberger und Marius Goldhorn. 

Mit Texten von: Fid Fischer, Jan Wehn, Johann Voigt, Jovana Reisinger, Lilli Martiny, Marius Goldhorn, Mazlum Nergiz, Niko Kappel, Pati Valpati, Pedro Crescenti, Sascha Ehlert, Sebastian von Gumpert, Teresa Guggenberger, Zelal Yesilyurt und Zeynep Bozbay.

Mit Bildern von: Amelie Kahn-Ackermann, André Simonow, Bahar Kaygusuz, Jacco Prüsmann, Joanna Legid, Jonas Liebermann, Lucia Jost, Martin Pohle, Meklit Fekadu Tsige, Nora Hollstein, Stephie Braun, Svenja Trierscheid, Tobias Zielony, Johanna Maria Fritz und Vanessa Ruckh.

About

Rolling Stone is an American monthly magazine that focuses on music, politics, and popular culture. It was founded in San Francisco, California, in 1967 by Jann Wenner, and the music critic Ralph J. Gleason. It was first known for its coverage of rock music and for political reporting by Hunter S. Thompson. In the 1990s, the magazine broadened and shifted its focus to a younger readership interested in youth-oriented television shows, film actors, and popular music. It has since returned to its traditional mix of content, including music, entertainment, and politics.

Talking with Kevin Abstract, Shawn Mendes covers our Summer 21 issue.

“I still struggle with trying to fit into the shoes of who I believe ‘Shawn Mendes’ should be…at some point along the line, my expectations and my standard of who I should be, the music I should make, and the way I should look, became so high that no matter what I did and no matter how hard I was trying with my music, I couldn’t fit those shoes. If I even struggle to [live up to] what I think I should be, I definitely don’t want to make it harder for the 14-year-old kid in Canada to be who they are.”

At 14-years-old, he taught himself how to play the guitar at home in his native Toronto. By 15, he was on social media app Vine, amassing over half a billion views before its subsequent close quickly chucked him headfirst into the spotlight – blissfully ambitious and unprepared for what fame could throw at him. But unlike other pop stars with a following as big as him, each time he delves into his past, the narrative isn’t the same polished, pre-packaged tale churned out and chewed over by the mouths of many. Mendes undoubtedly radiates in his ability to be honest, repeatedly delving deeper and deeper into the crippling anxieties and struggles he’s faced as one of the biggest pop stars of our generation. Perhaps because underneath it all, Mendes is still just a small-town boy from Canada who willingly gave over his heart to music.

Ahead of eagerly awaited new music and a rumoured global tour, Mendes covers our summer issue delving into everything from crippling self-pressures to unrealistic expectations. In a refreshingly frank and sincere conversation, Mendes opens up to Kevin Abstract on everything from comparison culture to the power of therapy, and how he struggles to live up to the idealistic projection of his own image.

About

Wonderland Magazine is an international, independently published magazine offering a unique perspective on the best new and established talent across all popular culture: fashion, film, music and art. We entertain, challenge and inform both men and women with editorial and fashion shot by the most in-demand photographers working today – we want to represent the positive and the playful elements of the fashion industry. We’re about inspiring, rather than dictating to our readers.

We are constantly evolving. This evolution happens at both a cellular level and through cosmic changes over millions of years. Those who hate change and find comfort with the status quo are only comfortable with the world that they can see within their horizon. But to those who welcome the cold embrace of the unknown new world as it changes beneath our feet, we nestle within our cocoon, awaiting our great transformation.

Frequent readers of zweikommasieben will know that the creative processes we highlight in our magazine are an eclectic gathering of influences that result in varied creative practices. This plurality informs a question we have repeatedly asked ourselves: what might be the common denominator connecting all the dots? For this issue, we would like to make the case for the discursive potential of personal experiences.

Once the personal is taken seriously, anecdotes provide major insights into an artist’s practice. A portrait on producer Malibu taps into memories of popular culture and traces musical experiences from her childhood to highlight the dedication she brings towards composing melodies and using samples. In their essay, the duo Space Afrika assembles recollections of their daily lives in north-west England to frame their artistic output over the years.

Highlighting subjective perspectives allows for the differentiation of what might appear similar at first. Both the collaboration of Andreas Bülhoff and Marc Matter featured in “Soundtexte” and the interview with Tygapaw refer to the use of poetry. The former condense language to its most basic units and present them as rhythmic building blocks for DJs. Taking a different approach, Tygapaw asked a poet to be the narrator of their album, expanding the tracks by embedding an additional layer of meaning.

zweikommasieben #23 also wishes to make visible the full range of its contributors. Annotations in the margins gesture towards the intuitive processes characteristic of this magazine: from an initial interest in an artist and their work, to the experience of exploring it in the context of a conversation, and to collaboratively reflect on text and photography with various people.

Full content:
-interviews with Bass Clef, Crystallmess, Flora Yin-Wong, Grand River, Ikonika, Jabu & Daniela Dyson, Meemo Comma, and Tygapaw
-portrait on Malibu
-essay by Space Afrika
-Contributes by Jessika Khazrik and Sara Berts
-columns: Soundtexte (poetry), “Art Review” (art review), and We are Time (photography)
