190 x 250 mm, 236 pages UK First published 2024 Biannual Editors: Maria Dimitrova, Hayley Mlotek Contributing editors: Seb Emina, Jazmine Hughes, Lucy McKeon Art direction and design: Merel van den Berg Design: Kees de Klein A new, branded publication from the people behind dating app Feeld. Themed ‘Mind Games’, this butter yellow sophomore edition features a foldout cover photographed by Nan Goldin and once again interrogates the many dimensions of desire, sexuality and relationships. Whilst the titular theme often denotes negative connotations, here ‘Mind Games’ are framed in a nuanced light—as affirmations, protective rewrites and dreams. Inside, you’ll find well-designed features—including a cover story on musician and performer Kelsey Lu—non-fiction, poetry, columns, photo editorials and more, all exploring facets of what it means to reach for joy, pleasure and satisfaction. And what does AFM stand for? Well, as the type running down the left of the front cover reveals, it’s A Fucking Magazine—pun, we assume, intended. Though, as the editors write, it could also be read as A Feeld Magazine, you know, just in case they'd gotten ‘carried away with themselves’. readafm.com
