Are We Europe

Client: Are We Europe and BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts 
Project Name: Fear of Others [Issue 2: Mayday Magazine]

Mayday Magazine is collaboration with Are We Europe and BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts. BOZAR, is a company governed by public law with a social purpose that notably organises concerts, exhibits, shows, projections of films and events of an educational, cultural and artist nature. At the crossroads of journalism and art, Mayday Magazine was born when the debates BOZAR had planned to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Schuman declaration—a precursor to the European Union—were cancelled due to the pandemic. They chose to make a printed magazine to mark this crucial moment instead.

This piece is currently long-listed in the Editorial category for the World Illustration Awards 2022. The shortlist will be announced in September 2022.

Industry: Editorial

Produced by a cross-border collective of journalists and creators trying to bridge the local, Are We Europe is a national and transnational magazine, offering personal stories, unapologetic social critique and analysis of where the hell this is all going. Issue 12: Online Lies, Offline Lives takes the theme of Disinformation by exploring the offline consequences of online lies, and how it feeds on our personal experiences and deepest-seated emotions. QAnon, incels or the anti-vax movement—one way or another, many of us are driven into these parallel realities by the feeling of isolation and a need for community. Our article by Alex King takes an insight into online incel communities and how they can foster dangerous behaviour amongst young men.

Client: Are We Europe
Project Name: So, What Were the Colours of Your Bedsheets? [Issue 11: The Queer Issue]
Industry: Editorial
Category: Illustration
Issue 11: The Queer Issue gathers stories from around Europe, taking a journey through the contemporary European LGBTQ+ landscape. From a critical analysis on how "free" Europe really is for those on the rainbow-coloured spectrum, to a celebration of the people and ideas reimagining our society. It dives into the often-ignored aspects of gender and sexuality. Written by Patricia Alonso, this article highlights the dangers that LGTBTQ+ asylum seekers face across Europe, how unfairly and inappropriately they are treated to prove their sexuality in order to find safety and stay alive.

Issue 7: The Silver Lining


Client: Are We Europe
Project Name: Privacy Pitfall [Issue 7: The Silver Lining]
Industry: Editorial
Category: Illustration
Issue 7: The Silver Lining gathers solidarity, creativity and compassion in times of crisis. Stories from around the continent that pinpoint solutions and offer hope in the dark hour. These stories showcase the pandemic’s silver lining: the people, places and politics that are brightening our days and lifting our spirits. And those helping us adjust to—but also rethink—the “new normal”. Privacy Pitfall written by Torben David questions whether the pros of contact-tracing technology are worth sacrificing our privacy. In the Corona age, technology is enabling our social life to flourish online, and transforming the work life—no longer a convenience but an essential lifeline.
