Extra Extra, Issue 19

The autumn/winter issue Extra Extra n°19 features theatre director Milo Rau in talks with Marijn Lems about the intertwinement of creative practice with his experience of today’s world. Our recurring essayistic feature The Protagonist of the Erotic is devoted to one of the most iconic pop stars of our generation: Janelle Monáe. Scholar Dan Hassler-Forest – who happens to be a Monáe devotee – reveals in this piece how pleasure can be a force for liberation, following Audre Lorde’s and José Esteban Muñoz’s writing. We are particularly proud to feature the work of Emma Amos in an artist portfolio. Anja Aronowsky Cronberg interviews accessory designer Stéphanie D’heygere on striving to find grace in the commonplace, paying attention to small gestures otherwise easily overlooked.
