WIP Magazine Issue 09, an eclectic window into the world of art, music, and skateboarding. The cover features Oakland-based artist Esteban Raheem Abdul Raheem Samayoa, met on the eve of his latest solo show. This issue explores a variety of themes: from Milan's graffiti scene to teenage rebellion in an all-girls Catholic school, and the early internet chat rooms.
In this edition, we join UK musician Wesley Joseph in the Swiss mountains as he records his latest album, and Matt Moran on the streets of Tokyo. Ekua King's work capturing her community in London is also featured.
A special focus is given to "Precious", the upcoming Carhartt WIP skate film by Joaquim Bayle, accompanied by a collaboration with Spanish artist Carlos Saez, who shares the creation of a new body of work discussing posthuman futures.
DeForrest Brown Jr. returns with "Landing the Mothership", exploring the work and influence of late-night Detroit radio DJ The Electrifying Mojo, whose Afrofuturist broadcasts inspired a generation of techno innovators.
WIP Magazine Issue 09 thus offers a blend of cultural and artistic stories, combining tradition and avant-garde in an engaging and diverse narrative.
