In September 2021 we made a dream come true and published our second print issue DREAMS, a 2-in-1 issue that explores the realms of dreams and reality in creative, critical and humorous ways. For a year we had worked together with an amazing team of talented writers, artists, designers and activists and were beyond excited to be able to host a launch event at Callie’s to celebrate our collective work.
We had the pleasure to host DREAMSCAPES together with ONEIRIC SPACE, an ever-evolving research and publishing practice exploring the interplay between dreams and waking life. Starting with an inspiring panel talk on the potential of our shared dreams with Charmaine Li, Sailesh Naidu and Sarah Marinus and a short film screening, we moved on to some wonderful readings by Beccy Korang, Daniel Marin Medina and Janice Faith for a first taste of the DREAMS issue.
Beccy Korang read from our cover story “Us People: Dreams of Freedom'' which collects the thoughts and experiences of German QTIBIPOC’s on the intersection of Blackness and queerness and speaks in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities in Ghana and beyond. “Us People” and our second cover story, the photo essay “Celebrating Asian Heritage Amid a Rise in Anti-Asian Racism” not only graced the covers of the freshly printed magazines but also the beautiful studio space in the form of limited edition posters.
After bringing the evening to a close with a few drinks, lovely conversations and some old and new connections our guests were able to go home with our iconic pink tote bags filled with sexy surprise gifts by Iroha and Tenga Global and of course a copy of the DREAMS issue.
Browse a selection of photos from our launch below and make sure to stay tuned for the next DADDY event.
