Foam magazine, issue #62, “M/otherlands”
Issue 62 of Foam magazine shows a work by David Rych: Untitled / After Courbet (L’origine du monde), 2004.
From Foam magazine:
Are we able to navigate the complex, and possibly denser than ever, intersection between identity politics and identitarian movements in today’s Europe? Are the images we are creating, producing and disseminating able to actually say something about us, our sense of belonging, and our chances to access the possibility of We?
As a response to these questions, the works and words in m/otherlands – the transnational issue explore the ways in which identity intersects and conflicts with nationalism and the idea of nation state within the European context. This issue constitutes our proud contribution to a challenging and timely project co-organised by The Racial Imaginary Institute, the CUNY Graduate Center and The Poetry Project, titled On Nationalism: The Fragility and the Possibility of ‘We’.
For the typography of this issue, Studio Hamid Salkali continued to use the magazine’s stalwart grotesk – Phil Baber’s Maria – and paired it with two guest typefaces: Signifier from Klim Type Foundry and a few widths of Pilat from General Type Studio.
