Skin Deep, Issue 10

About Skin Deep:

Skin Deep makes space for Black creatives and creatives of colour to work towards justice through cultural production. Through our live events, online platform and print magazine, we build capacity for artists and activists in London and globally to think beyond crisis and survival, and dream of just futures.

Predominantly Black and POC-led, Skin Deep occupies a unique space in the media and arts landscape. We produce and curate work that centres hope, joy and lasting meaningful change. We always take the long view, tapping into deep currents that flow from generations past to worlds yet to come – both in the stories we facilitate and tell, and in the long-term relationships we build with contributors, partners and our wider community.

In this issue:

In this landmark 10th issue, we explore the revolutionary potential of play as a tool for reimagining, a tactic for resisting, and a necessary release that enables us to keep up the relentless work of building new worlds.
