Birth Edition

We chose the theme of birth for its versatility; while evoking a chaotic, messy and surreal human experience, it is also the concept of creating new things – sometimes giving birth to an idea and all the pain and thrill that comes with it, the birth of new addictions, awareness, practices, fears.

Something so human and deep-rooted in our nature, given to writers and artists from across the globe to redefine in their own terms.

Something for our reader to reflect upon and rethink their own definition of the concept of ‘newness’ in relation to themselves.

This is what the Impeached community has birthed.

Looking through Patricia Piccinini’s portfolio, is like stepping into wonderland; “curiouser and curiouser”, as Lewis Carroll famously wrote. Here, however, one won’t find any Mad Hatters, March Hares, hookah-smoking caterpillars perched on mushrooms, or White Rabbits donning a pocket-watch. This is a different kind of wonderland. One, which is strangely, yet decidedly, alluring.

Self-Dysmorphia in the Age of Filters

The age of social media has brought with it a new kind of self-dysmorphia – one that is fueled by the filters we use to present a perfected image of ourselves to the world. In the world of social media, the line between reality and illusion is blurred, and our perception of ourselves can become distorted.
