FILM REVIEW: JOY-FINDING HAPPINESS IN TROUBLED TIMES (2021) DIR. LOUIS PSIHOYOS
Full Review: https://museemagazine.com/culture/2021/6/11/film-review-mission-joy-finding-happiness-in-troubled-times

“The boldness of this title is not an overstatement. Joy is the subject and this is a mission. It is not so much taught, as revealed by example in the lives of the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet and South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, two of our most influential, controversial and beloved contemporary spiritual leaders who happen to have a phenomenally close friendship. The differences in background and their paths to the present could hardly be more disparate and the story could hardly be more compelling.“

FROM OUR ARCHIVES: MARVIN HEIFERMAN
Full Feature: https://museemagazine.com/features/2021/6/10/from-our-archives-marvin-heiferman

This interview was featured in our 24th Issue: Identity

“In the past, I’ve always looked at how photography works in culture and for others. Now, all of a sudden, I’m using photography because I have to in order to make sense of myself, for myself. It didn’t and still doesn’t feel like a choice. Making pictures was the only way I was going to be able to face up to and make peace with my own vulnerability. I was no longer the professional saying, "This is how photographs work." I was me, Marvin, saying "I don't know what the f**k is going on, but making pictures is the only thing that allows me to capture and take a step back from my experience, to literally see and get some perspective on what I was going through.“

“Q***r People Anywhere Are Responsible for Q***r People Everywhere,” said @jofetto, the Naples-born, London-based q***r photographer.

Fetto’s works have been published in Vogue Italia, Man About Town, i-D Italy, and more.

WOMAN CRUSH WEDNESDAY: YATENDER
https://museemagazine.com/culture/2021/6/8/woman-crush-wednesday-yatender

“Lighting, specifically natural light, to me, is one of the most beautiful forms of life. I am drawn to it just like mayflies yearn for electric lighting on bridges at night. Sometimes, without even thinking, I frame a picture based on how I am going to throw a beam of light onto my body anytime I catch a glimpse of a light source around me; maybe this has something to do with my photography style. I rarely plan my shoots and very much enjoy the rather fun process of taking self-portraits with random scenarios.”

PRIDE MONTH: MENGWEN CAO
https://museemagazine.com/features/2021/6/9/pride-month-mengwen-cao

“The result is Playground Radio, which Cao describes as a “self-preservation project” undertaken during the pandemic. Appearing playful and quotidian at first glance, the series is both an intimate conversation with complex layers of identity and subtle resistance to the moment’s disquieting socio-political climate.”

“Gender variant is a term by people whose gender identity and expression doesn’t fit the expectations of male or female, or our traditional binary gender system. These identities are used by people who don’t solely identify with either male or female.”

A CONVERSATION WITH ROBIN RHODE AND TREVOR BISHAI

“Robin Rhode is on a search for the infinite. Keenly aware of the potential for art to push beyond the confines of its frame, the South African-born artist has long been interested in how geometry, form, and color can access a higher, more universal aesthetic realm.”

ELLEN CAREY: PHOTOGRAPHY DEGREE ZERO
Full feature: https://museemagazine.com/features/2021/5/28/ellen-carey-photography-degree-zero

“The Polaroid 20 X 24 Land Camera is one of the most storied photographic cameras in history. Standing over five feet tall and weighing over two hundred pounds, this behemoth might seem like no sibling to the creators of small instant prints normally associated with the word “Polaroid.” But the camera uses exactly the same chemical process as its peel-apart film counterparts, and, true to its name, the 20 X 24 is able to produce a dye-diffusion print measuring twenty by twenty-four inches in just under three minutes.“

#SneakPeek in Issue 25 #CURATION:

Seyon, 2020.

📷 @ajamux

“I think for me, what’s central to the work is curiosity for other things and that’s it. If my parents say, don’t touch the fire, Ajamu is going to go touch it, and that’s still how I am in the world. It was a curiosity about, what if you put a bra on a bodybuilder? What if you have men in these silver heels drawn from The Wizard of Oz? It’s something I’m saying. It’s what if, what if, what if. And that means that you don’t close off your work, but you constantly open up a work to try all kinds of interpretations. I do not own the interpretation of the work. My work is to create work, to throw ideas out there, and the people then run with it or not. So really, actually, I am not trying to resolve anything. I'm just trying to say, "Ooh, what if I do this around a Black body, or a femme body?"

We live in a culture that is obsessed with creating its own representations of our world. Visual literacy is at an all time high.

WEEKEND PORTFOLIO: CARLOS BECERRA

“These works explore the materiality of the photographic process and the properties of light. As unique, handmade pieces, they are a direct result of my intervention with light and the chromogenic paper. In most photographic objects, white correlates to light; however, with these cameraless creations, I produced a palpable feeling of light within the areas void of light. By removing any physical and literal contexts which are usually present in conventional photographic images, I encourage the viewer to withdraw from the physical world, and explore an inscape of light and dimension, a space beyond the sum of the elements that created it.”

PRIDE MONTH: JESTIN KORSGAARD
Full Feature: https://museemagazine.com/features/2021/6/2/pride-month-jestin-korsgaard

“Ranging from portraits to cityscapes, Jestin Korsgaard’s “Diary” series captures moments of intimacy and self-expression while adhering to the aesthetic of lo-fi snapshot film. Ongoing since 2012, the appropriately named project constructs the visual story of Korsgaard’s particular experience as a non-binary person. The photographer draws inspiration for “Diary” from the family photo album, the likes of which Korsgaard’s grandmothers kept, and attempts to repurpose it as an art object framed within the q***r tradition of the Chosen Family.”
