The first edition of Dazed MENA has been launched by ITP Media Group.
The youth-orientated magazine is a regional edition of UK-based Dazed, and covers fashion, style, and culture from the Middle East & North Africa.
The inaugural issue is themed Creativity in the Age of Chaos, and features nine covers, with spotlights on Afghan girlhood, Ethiopian female skaters, Sri Lankan surfers, a Syrian seed-saver, and a pair of Gazan parkourists.
Palestinian rapper Saint Levant also fronts the magazine, along with Palestinian-Canadian musician Nemahsis, Algerian streetwear designer Wathek Allal, and models Nazarit and Peris who appear in a fashion story shot in the suburbs of Paris.
“We’re living in an age where the systems we once had faith in have failed us, and truths are coming to light,” says editor in chief, Ahmad Swaid. “As the global power balance continues to shift, creativity is our most important resource to redefine what’s possible and inspire our communities. Creativity is our ultimate mode of liberation. Our inaugural issue reflects just that: our imagination and our realities.”
