When we started crafting the Winter 2024 issue, we knew we wanted to honour the threads of knowledge that secure one generation to the next. In art spaces, the works of long dead white men loom large over all sub-disciplines, while locally the emphasis on the “emerging” is constant. Devoid of references, time and again old ideas are repackaged for new times.

ISSAY! Magazine is a free, digitally accessible arts publication that exists at the intersection between mediums and localities.

We prioritize the works of marginalized creatives and offer this publication as a space where communities have agency to tell their stories. ISSAY! Mag accepts pitches twice a year.
