Featuring a broad spectrum of creatives, from established names to up and coming talent, issue 001 discusses the concept of ‘beginnings.’ New York Times bestselling poet Rupi Kaur teams up with photographer Naomi Wood for a breathtakingly beautiful exclusive, milk and honey. Offering up an insightful take on the advertising agency is former Saatchi & Saatchi Creative Director Iain Nevill. In New York Rising, Rhode Island University lecturer Linda Welters considers the the ever changing landscape of the city that never sleeps. In Cold Memories, Bulgarian photographer Denitsa Toshirova explores the true meaning of “home,” and how it feels to be a creative nomad. First ever contributor Nathan T. Dean teams up with photographer Charlotte Klein for an examination of modern day vagrants and beatniks – aptly titled The Last Bohemian. And right at the back of the publication you’ll find a very special feature, Tear Sheets – a one-off artwork from a great talent, all ready for you to tear out and frame. Meaning, for the cost of a magazine you also receive a specially commissioned piece of art to cherish forever.
1 in 2 of us will be directly affected by dementia in our lifetimes; it is currently the leading cause of death in the UK. In spite of this, the general public are largely unaware of the dementia journey and how this can look for an individual following diagnosis.
Many people with dementia feel their voice is taken from them and their true lived experience is rarely recognised or appreciated amidst a plethora of sensationalised headlines, medical jargon or scaremongering.
Within this landscape, we collaborate with people with dementia and, together, play with words to give voice to their experience. We then share these words across our print publications, online features, newsletters and events – centring lived experience and using this to increase empathy and understanding in wider society too often presented with a flattened, singular narrative of dementia focussed on incapacity, loss and inability. Our work redresses this, unlocking and showcasing what people with dementia can do before sharing this to rewrite the narrative by centring lived experience.
