Ubikwist Issue 11- Expose Issue-Press Release

Guest Editor: Euzhan Palcy

After 10 issues and a global pandemic that altered the world, we’ve managed to launch a brand new issue – Expose. This latest edition of Ubikwist assembles a wide variety of activists, cultural luminaries, and artists from fashion, film, art and music, chronicling their respective journeys, heartfelt art forms, and 2020 in their own words. Amidst a health crisis, we adhered to mandatory safety precautions in conducting our interviews, capturing the beautiful images found in these pages. We had the pleasure to collaborate with the trailblazer, director, producer Euzhan Palcy as our first guest editor.

The first year of the decade exposed us to a wide variety of events: a country more deeply divided continuous merciless police killings of Black people, Black America’s rally cry for egalitarianism, a tumultuous political climate, and the implications of COVID-19. The conversation is shifting and we feel a sense of responsibility and obligation to not only contribute to the dialogue but initiate a deeper analysis of it. The fascinating paradox of art lies in its ability to alert our moral conscience while serving as a medium of escapism. Expose perfectly embodies that.

Professor Angela Davis and Kendrick Sampson lead the dialogue on civil disobedience, the new America, and what’s next. Talent giants Euzhan Palcy, Ruth Carter, Andrew Dosunmu open up about how they overcame obstacles along the way. Atlanta-based artist Codi Maddox is unfiltered in her disdain for gentrification and the systemic racism that is sweeping our big cities. Fashion’s newest it-girl Angeer Amol shares how TikTok landed her on the glossy pages of fashion. Other prominent features include Art Comes First, Assa Traoré, Baroness Valerie Amos, Gianni Lee, Mathieu Bitton, Mounia Orosemane, Danny Lyon, and Sean Waltrous. Rainbow Blonde Records, an independent label by artists, for artists is compelling in their unwavering belief in why art comes first. What makes this version of Ubikwist a particularly special one is how we’ve combined a broad range of ideas and works into a powerful message – that our experiences matter.

With every issue, we strive to capture the cultural climate of what’s relevant and necessary. Expose highlights 2020 in a unique way that intertwines dynamic art forms, triumphs, truth, and the profound personal stories of people. To produce this issue has been very challenging work, and we hope you are inspired by the diverse representations, collaborations, and activism as we look into the new year.

Sorbet - Winter 2020/21, Issue 30

Sorbet’s Winter 2020/21 issue is a few parts dirty, a few parts 30, and most parts, a party to mark our milestone 30th issue, and celebrate the end of 2020. We talk to celebrity event planners about how to downscale in size but upscale in style; we bring you stories from the most monumental parties in history; we celebrate men in dresses; and provide a menu fit for a 30th bash, designed by our dear friend Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno. We shot a house party in Jeddah with Gucci and Saudi songstress Tamtam, a beach party in the Emirates, a party in the jungle with Chanel, and a hundred balloons with Bottega Veneta. And would you even believe it, our cover star Monica Bellucci first stepped off runways and onto the silver screen 30 years ago. For this celebratory issue, master photographer Ellen Von Unwerth captures the Italian actress as Madonna in her most iconic video, ‘Material Girl,’ surrounded by sparkling rocks and strapping lads. Mamma mia!

Autumn Winter 2020

Part 2

Dapper Dan 22 | Autumn/Winter 2020

Dapper Dan 22 | Dapper Dan’s 22nd issue sees menswear and philosophy unfold during unprecedented times. We form ideas, sentences, objects, garments and images into our magazine.

Our writers uncover the inimitable ideas of GmbH designers Serhat Isik and Benjamin Alexander Huseby, groundbreaking digital designer Jon Emmony and critically acclaimed filmmaker Matt Wolf.

Through the pandemic’s preferred means of online communication, architect Jack Self talks to Lara Johnson-Wheeler and Filep Motwary calls artist Berlinde De Bruyckere at home.

In the literary sphere, writer Paul Mendez discusses his debut work, Rainbow Milk, and British-born, Cypriot poet Anthony Anaxagorou calls out oppression and othering. Each reforms language into art on the page, questioning the structure of words.

Objects—Margiela’s Tabi brogues, Sacai jewels, shoes by Camper and Jil Sander shirts—are at rest, while the bright young things in modelling move, restless before our photographers’ lenses.

Rebecca Solnit wrote, “Inside the word ‘emergency’ is ‘emerge’; from an emergency new things come forth.” The work we’ve crafted, in the pages of Dapper Dan, questions the form of what came before, bringing the new to the fore.
