Clans Issue 2015

FIELDS: CLANS is a meditation on belonging. It journeys through scarified faces in Abidjan, Inuit tattoo revivals in the Arctic, the mystical brotherhoods of Senegal, and the micro-republics of Vilnius asking what it means to recognise one another in a fragmented world. Through photography, essays, and intimate reportage, this issue traces the invisible ties that hold communities together, from ancestral markings to modern tribes of art, faith, and resistance. CLANS is both documentary and mirror, a field guide to identity, solidarity, and the quiet power of collective memory.
