Kaleidoscope / 43

KALEIDOSCOPE’s new issue 43 (Fall/Winter 2023) launches with a set of six covers. 

 

On the occasion of his long-awaited sophomore album, Lahai, released this fall to universal acclaim, we capture SAMPHA in San Francisco through the lens of Liam McRae. In an accompanying interview by Felix Petty, the artist describes the record as an exploration of loss and healing, reflecting on the passing of his parents, the birth of his daughter, and the inevitably cyclical nature of life and memory.

 

Also featured in this issue: London-based band Bar Italia (photography by Jessica Madavo and interview by Conor McTernan), the archives of Hysteric Glamour (photography by Lorenzo Dalbosco and interview by Akio Kunisawa), Japanese underground illustrator Yoshitaka Amano (words by Alex Shulan), Marseille-based young artist Sara Sadik (photography by Nicolas Poillot and interview by Daria Miricola), a survey about Japanese hip-hop’s new scene starring Tohji (photography by Taito Itateyama and words by Ashley Ogawa Clarke), Richard Prince’s new book“TheEntertainers” (words by Brad Phillips), “New Art: London” (featuringAdam Farah-Saad, Lenard Giller, Charlie Osborne, R.I.P. Germain, and Olukemi Ljiadu, photographed by Bolade Banjo and interviewed by Ben Broome).
