Issue #73, is filled with fresh perspectives on photography from around the world. The MELD themed issue showcases photography as a creative blender, where artists work slowly and carefully crafting considered, intentional, and complicated works.

 

Optimism and empowerment

Although much of the work speaks to many of the dark challenges we collectively face — environmental disaster, war, human rights issues, AI, and more — this edition presents a quiet, optimistic, hopeful, and empowered collective view.

 

Inspiration for change

This issue invites viewers to slow down and to be curious, empathetic, and inspired towards positive, peaceful change in the world.​
