The Huia (Identity) Issue
In this issue we see a counter narrative to white, Western beauty standards, in the shape of 12 affirming portraits of women of colour. In their conversation with visual artist Yumna about exhibiting femininity and sexuality as a Yemeni/Egyptian artist, they’re interested in complicated subjects like the exoticisation of female Muslim and Arabic artists by mainstream media. The language is completely accessible and inclusive, making you feel warmly welcomed into their world.
