Fact Magazine launches its new issue featuring a 24-page spread of newly commissioned work by Rashaad Newsome, featuring texts from Ruha Benjamin, Patrik-Ian Polk, Dazie Grego Sykes, Darnell L. Moore, Alok Vaid-Menon, Legacy Russell, Antwaun Sargent, Black Quantum Futurism, Ekow Eshun and James Baldwin.
Fact’s Fall/Winter ’22 issue features a 24-page spread of newly commissioned work by Rashaad Newsome consisting of images of new collages, sculpture, photography, and CGI. Collectively the images touch on long-standing themes in Newsome’s work, such as the importance of community for Black Queer folks, the relationship between Blacks and abstraction, and Black people and technology(past, present, and speculative future). To support him in this endeavor, Newsome sent his work to friends and colleagues and asked them to respond with a quote, text, or poem, resulting in a collection of innovative images and thoughtful writings.
