kin • iamamiwhoami

23 Aug 2012 / Comments Off / in Music/by Andrew Darley

[rating=5]
Released June 11, 2012 (digital download), September 3, 2012 (CD)
A real multimedia album, from its story-telling videos and its songs, iamamiwhoami’s kin ranges from wistful dream-pop trip-hop.

“All nine songs swell and pulsate, providing space for Jonna’s commanding voice and personality to blossom. I can’t help but feel that iamamiwhoami is one of the few artists in the last decade who has fully understood and committed to the concept of a multimedia album.”

Fucking Queers!

22 Aug 2012 / Comments Off / in Oral Histories/by Bryon Fear

What would you do?

Bryon Fear writes about a homophobic confrontation, and how angry he was with himself when he turned away from it.

“I was suddenly reminded of my nine year old self who used to take mile long diversions home from school for fear of being met by the bullies who earlier had told me in the playground that they “would be waiting” for me after school..”

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
