“A woman-of-color who writes poetry or paints or dances or makes movies knows there is no escape from race or gender when she is writing or painting. She can’t take off her color and sex and leave them at the door or her study or studio. Nor can she leave behind her history. Art is about identity, among other things, and her creativity is political.”
– Gloria Anzaldúa, Making Face/Making Soul: Haciendo Caras — Creative and Cultural Perspectives by Women of Color  (via jalwhite)

Right, so the online magazine I work on is on it’s 8th edition, and the theme this month is LIGHT. 

What I did for it:

  • The Poster, which has the names of all our lovely and talented contributors and editors.
  • ISSUE had an unofficial bookclub in a manicured residential park, because we couldn’t afford the flight tickets to get to the Pacific Crest Trail, which is the focus of Cheryl Strayed’s journey in her memoir “Wild: A Journey From Lost to Found”. We kidnapped our other co-editor, brought along a camera and some recording equipment and then I spliced it all together on iMovie. It was crazy fun to shoot, and also a really meaty book to discuss - so I hope you at least enjoy our efforts if you don’t feel compelled to read the book (you should, tho!) Watch it here.
  • We got a fantastic email from Toronto artist Joshua Vettivelu (ISSUE: Bringing People Together) and we interviewed him about art, and featured his amazingly articulate and thoughtful answers alongside some of his gorgeous cut drawings. Read it here.

Big month! (Hopefully) big year! I’m excited for it, and hope to get more and more awesome people on board. Our next theme is TRASH, and the deadline is January 31st. Find out how to contribute here. 

PS: That’s our sub-editor Syaz hiding behind that copy of Wild!

jvettiv: I was recently interviewed by the lovely folks at ISSUE Magazine for their January edition. Special thanks to Syar S. Alia for their wonderful and insightful questions. You can read the interview here. We’re opening 2013 with 13 awesome pieces for ISSUE #8: LIGHT, and this one I’m especially proud of. It was a pleasure talking to Josh, and seeing his work and also getting to talk about art and cultural identity and all that fun stuff. Hope you find it as enlightening (sorry!) as I did!
