We're thrilled to announce 𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙨: 𝘼 𝙃𝙤𝙤𝙜𝙝𝙡𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 with guest editor, François Bereaud.
A terrific writer and photographer, François Bereaud has travelled through the US, Mexico, Canada, France, Spain, Iceland and elsewhere, and has captured breathtaking shots of murals, street art and graffiti wherever he has been to. Here are his thoughts on the theme:
“I love public art, especially murals. They can provide a splash of beauty in an unexpected place, but, also, a window into the community: its joys, sorrows, pains, and resiliency. They can be political, not uncommonly a symbol of force to the oppressive powers that be. They can provide hope and love.
One of the places closest to my heart, Philadelphia, is a treasure trove of murals. Here are two images which capture some of those sentiments.
For this special issue, send us images from across the globe to, in turn, inspire writers from far and wide.”
