The first issue of Side Projects’s eponymous publication, Issue 01 serves as an introduction to the Side Projects philosophy and remit. Topics include: the pitfalls of taking a salient social problem (say, the difficulty of getting a job) and creating a mockery out of it in the name of “speaking to the needs of the consumer, why “youth-led community” is a brand-subsidized chimera, and what a framework of cultural stewardship rather than cultural extraction might look like for brands.

Plus: predictions, observations and pearls of wisdom from Chloé Desaulles, Benjamin Edgar Gott, Derrick Gee, Rebecca Jennings, Rachel Karten, Edmond Lau, Anu Lingala, Annie Rauwerda, and Max Tani.
