Left Cultures, Issue 03

Left Cultures  will delve deep into the left’s cultural past to discuss gems of storytelling within film, literature, music, art and poetry. Culture which has influenced and inspired an eclectic bunch of comrades to continue in this tradition by creating new cultural endeavours on the left today. Colliding together the past and present to celebrate the power and rich diversity of storytelling on the left with personal accounts, beautifully illustrated throughout.

In this issue:

Launched as a one-off, but now three issues deep (and thankfully so), Left Cultures champions voices of the left, ‘whether that be Socialist, Communist, Anarchist or anything in between.’

Page by page, a series of 50 contributing writers from far and wide share stories of inspiration which range from the personal to the polemical. Each entry is also accompanied by a commissioned full-page illustration.

In this third and timely issue, editor Phil Wrigglesworth writes about the journey so far: ‘What’s becoming quite clear through creating each edition is the set of stories take on their own unique identity and cultures’ which results in a ‘wonderful cross-section of writing’ and illustration, at that.

Turn to page 104-5 for a particularly effecting series of AI (and human) generated images by Wankers of the World: ‘Tories without privilege’. It was shared far and wide earlier this year and deservedly so.
