Pe coperta, un desen de Dan Perjovschi, parte a contributiei intitulate The Bucharest Happy Hour Blues.

THE REVOLUTION GONE 

The idea accompanying the new issue of the first Central – Eastern European magazine about art and homosexuality is to grasp the moment of modernization and a recent cultural transition of the Romanian society.

The subject of this change particularly interesting the editor of the magazine – artist Karol Radziszewski, is the image of masculinity and identity in contemporary Romanian visual and symbolic culture as well as in popular culture and group imaginary of society. The examples of this process can be discovered in interviews with the Romanian young generation of creative people from different cultural fields.

DIK Fagazine would also like to make a tribute to all those genuine creative guests featured in the issue who represent a new attitude towards cultural and sexual diversity through their art, activism and social involvement.  

DIK, as usually, concentrates on the people. For this issue totally focused on contemporary Romania, we interviewed emerging artists (Sebastian Moldovan, Vlad Nanca), influential fashion people (Ovidiu Buta, Marian Palie, Olah Gyarfas), a choreographer and young actor (Paul Dunca), a club owner (Issa Nebal), a gay activist (Tudor Kovacs), a journalist who shared with us his impressive collection of photographs (Andrei Jianu) and the Romanian musician and gay icon actively propagating the tolerance, Loredana.

Moreover, we show works by Alex Mirutziu, probably the only Romanian artist working with the subject of homosexuality and a series of photographs made with a hidden camera nearby the salty lakes of Transylvania. The cover displays a drawing by Dan Perjovschi who contributed with the series of pieces created for this issue and titled The Bucharest Happy Hour Blues, while the comic strip is the work of the great Matei Branea. 

At the Paradis Garaj DIK Fagazine will launch the new issue and present selected spreads from the magazine with artworks by featured artists. The event will be accompanied by the photo slideshow - „Transilvania" by Karol Radziszewski.

The Romanian issue of DIK Fagazine has been recently presented at Queer Zines - the main exhibition during the New York Art Book Fair.
