FIELDS
The world cannot solely be told through a western lens.
FIELDS revolves around activists & change-makers. We discuss global issues through a multicultural perspective. Our stories serve to inspire change amongst communities. Each month, we explore a specific theme, feature long-form reports, interviews, and photo stories. With outstanding image quality and an innovative art direction, FIELDS is as smart as it is beautiful.
