LOOK.AT.US- Issue #4: Celebrating LA’s Queer Black Creatives.

Cover Star: The Uhuruverse.

Photographer: Gena Tuso

LOOK.AT.US is a zine conceptualised and created by stylist and photographer Gena Tuso. Her goal is to capture underground scenes and subcultures from around the world. In the latest issue, Tuso turns her lens on the underground scene of Black Queer and Trans creatives in Los Angeles. The new instalment is curated by Jupiter Black, an experimental musician (who also features in the zine).

“The folks included in the zine are all people that I’ve had personal interactions with that made me feel inspired to grow as a person or an artist,” says Jupiter Black in an interview with i-D. “We are all queer, non-conforming, Black and brown beings that deserve to be documented. All queer, trans and gender non-conforming peoples deserve visibility; whether they are poor, disabled, punk, masc, femme or anything that intersects. All forms of queer existence and aesthetic inspired this zine to be created and curated.”

Other featured creatives include Earth to Jordi, Eddington Again and Beatriz Moreno Rios.
