DOTCOMS & PUBLICATIONS

Possession Sessions An arts website run by an artist named Karen Miranda Augustine. She has her own personal website here. However the sessions site is relatively new, has tons of interviews and great posts on new artists in and around the world so make sure you go check out the website.

The Grio An African-American news and culture website. They have extensive interviews, editorials and social commentary pieces. Definitely a great place to stay up on current news covering a range of topics, learn about someone new and see how you can be involved within the African-American community.

Bon Magazine A Swedish indie fashion magazine that is heavy on the visuals and content. The images are always very high fashion and complex. The mag does cover more of the international fashion scene but at the heart covers the Swedish fashion scene…which let’s be real…cannot be all that terrible…in fact it’s prolly really fresh and fashion-forward (it is the land of H&M, Ikea, and Cheap Mondays). Check out the site and if you get a chance make sure you cop a paper copy of it too!

Hope you loved this month’s edition of THE LIST. Leave a comment below and let me know what you think!
