Faith is not always spoken aloud. Sometimes it is worn, carried on the body. Drawing from the narrative of Surah Yusuf, a story of separation, endurance, and eventual reunion that has long resonated as one of the Qur’an’s most profound meditations on faith, @farhadali7_ ‘s collection, Sabr, weaves moments of darkness towards release.

THE WINNERS’ RACE - a short critical essay
Investigating how the words we use create colonial hierarchies and where this is perpetuated and/or challenged in media. 📰
Now Playing: মানুহে মানুহৰ বাবে (translated ~ Man for Mankind) — using Assamese/Bangla folk music to celebrate humanity, brotherhood and community. The brown body is active, not just physically in song, but through rich cultural history and pride.

BUFF IS EVERYWHERE | Manifesting the Buffalo Attitude. A ZINE INTRODUCTION
An exploration into the manifestation of Ray Petri’s ‘Buffalo’ identity through the lens of @officialsosolid and the UK Garage (UKG) takeover. Style reimagined, music encompassed and vibe strong, UKG is an embodiment and a lifestyle. Where now, the Alcatraz symbol of Corteiz is an identifier of style, logomania of the early 2000s, think Moschino and Iceberg, is still intertwined into our maximalist approach to style today. Reiterating that BUFF IS EVERYWHERE

Also big thank you to those who encompass what it means to be BUFF always (this project is dedicated to you), especially those who gave time to add so much colour to my investigation.
