Launched as a one-off, but now three issues deep (and thankfully so), Left Cultures champions voices of the left, ‘whether that be Socialist, Communist, Anarchist or anything in between.’
Page by page, a series of 50 contributing writers from far and wide share stories of inspiration which range from the personal to the polemical. Each entry is also accompanied by a commissioned full-page illustration.
In this third and timely issue, editor Phil Wrigglesworth writes about the journey so far: 'What's becoming quite clear through creating each edition is the set of stories take on their own unique identity and cultures' which results in a 'wonderful cross-section of writing' and illustration, at that.
Turn to page 104-5 for a particularly effecting series of AI (and human) generated images by Wankers of the World: 'Tories without privilege'. It was shared far and wide earlier this year and deservedly so.
On the Journal:
‘This magazine’s a powerful reminder that there is a left point of view still available, even if it is so often ignored, marginalised, or worse, demonised in today’s media. It’s refreshing to see these views collected together and rendered relevant and vital as ever.’
