Foam Magazine Issue 58 (Talents) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. The fifteenth edition of Foam Magazine’s Talent Issue presents a selection of outstanding artists, each in their own way feeling the pulse of our times. This year’s common, underlying theme is a close, sharp look at one of the most important subjects, the human condition. While being born out of the Covid-19 pandemic, this issue is also a beautiful, hopeful and refreshing statement of the possibilities our medium offers, and the exciting future ahead. We look forward to celebrating new beginnings, and new horizons. Among the contributing artists and writers are Laia Abril, Kwabena Sekyi Appiah-nti, Hajar Benjida, Tommy Kha, Pat Martin, Sarker Protick, Silvia Rosi, Ana Vallejo, Max Houghton, George H. King, Daria Tuminas, and Carmen Winant.
Next to our regular features we are extremely grateful to host a conversation between Carmen Winant and Laia Abril, winner of the 2020 Paul Huf Award Prize with her long-term project A History of Misogyny. The presented chapters, Chapter One: On Abortion and Chapter Two: On Rape have been unanimously selected by the jury as a remarkable example of the possibilities for the photographic medium to engage with complex subjects. We agree that the results of her efforts need to be seen by an audience as large as possible and are very proud to be able to make our part.
