Ubikwist Magazine Ubikwist #9 WOMAN Issue Retour à l'édition précédente

UBIKWIST closes out this decade and welcomes in the next with WOMAN, an issue featuring women who are shaping the world culturally, politically, artistically, and socially. Artists Vanessa German, Alexandria Smith, Simone Leigh, Xaviera Simmons, and Torkwase Dyson pay homage to the literary legacy of the late, great Toni Morrison; Beyoncé’s favorite video director Melina Matsoukas talks about her feature film debut Queen & Slim, a collaboration with Lena Waithe; Somalian activist Ifrah Ahmed discusses her campaign against female genital mutilation; legendary Paris courtesan to the stars Susi Wyss chronicles her career in her memoir Guess Who Is the Happiest Girl in Town; transgender actress and activist Ava Grey talks about making moves and making movies; model and “hood activist” Samirah Raheem, Jill Jones, Karla Crome, and dream hampton invite us into their lives, experiences, and motivations. And not to be outdone, legendary music executive Sylvia Rhone talks about shaping the music you listen to – for close to half a century.

This new edition is devoted to trailblazer-inspiring and visionary women. While serving up our customary allotment of activism, fashion, art, humanity, beauty, and unity, we provide a flourish of freedom, womanhood, dynamism, inclusiveness, and liberalism.

Enjoy.
