A Magazine Curated By N°22
N22 A Magazine Curated By Grace Wales Bonner
Entitled Rhapsody In The Street, A Magazine Curated By Grace Wales Bonner responds to the tradition of Black poetry, literature and portrait photography of the 20th century, featuring a curation of archival portfolios and other historical ephemera, as well as newly commissioned essays, poems, paintings and portraits.
As an object the issue is treated with reverence, combining matte and gloss paper stocks with gilded pages and a limited-edition photo print edition by the Cameroonian art photographer Samuel Fosso inserted within each copy. New work includes visual portfolios photographed in Los Angeles, London, Miami, Paris and New York, from a self-portrait by Ming Smith that joins Steven Traylor’s cinematic capture of the musician Damian Marley, to Zoë Ghertner’s intimate depiction of model Selena Forrest, Paul Mpagi Sepuya’s studio works, and a triumphant study of Wales Bonner’s AW15 collection Ezekiel by Tyler Mitchell. Other contributions include conversations on the tradition of Jamaican dancehall, an essay on the Kamoinge photographic group in Harlem, NYC, and archives of unseen Ghanaian film photography sit alongside paintings and poetry by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, and John Goto’s seminal Lovers’ Rock series complemented by new poems by Roger Robinson, all bookended by opening and closing blessings by Ben Okri.
