It's time for us to start curating for the POC ANNUAL ISSUE of Feroce Magazine. This issue will be released on the 1ST OF OCTOBER 2020 - this is Black History Month in the UK. Work does not have to be exclusive but it does need to be by or of a POC
WHAT THIS MEANS
In this issue, we will only be accepting work from artists of colour. That means, if you're the submitter and you're Caucasian, you won't be included in this issue. Simple as that. If a team member is an artist of colour, then get them to submit to us.
Editorials using white models will not be included unless the photographer is an artist of colour.
This will be our third POC annual and we're excited to show off this year. This year we are keen to interview the artists we feature and showcase them across our channels for the entirety of October. Our inclusivity isn't just for this holiday however. Every month we prioritise POC on the cover of our magazines where possible. We want to spread the word that you will always have priority here at Feroce. (and Mordant.)
