In New York, New Guard, we visit the young makers who continue to work in the US metropolis, despite the many spatial and financial challenges that come with it: Farah al Qasimi, Quil Lemons and more share stories of competition, survival and poignant peer support in the Big Apple. Intimacy and physical closeness are threaded throughout the magazine, from Bruegel’s raucous moments of 16th-century revelry, to the surreal sensuality of Aaron Gilbert’s domestic scenes.

Experimental features include the first instalment in an exclusive series by Toyin Ojih Odutola, poetry from Joël Andrianomearisoa and a collaborative essay on the architecture of Marseilles from Jayden Ali and Lotty Sanna. A new portfolio section also presents work by Imogen-Blue Hinojosa, which explores transitioning and the representation of trans bodies.
