Since November 2016, Good Trouble has published stories from the intersection of arts and culture with politics and protest. Issue 21 is its third issue (they’re going backwards!). Each issue’s proceeds go to a different cause (War Child, RAICES, and in this case Extinction Rebellion). Good Trouble was founded by former Dazed editor Roderick Stanley and is based in New York.
In this issue:
- A previously unpublished image from Olafur Eliasson’s Glacier Series (1999/2019) on the cover, showing the remains of Okjökull, the first Icelandic glacier to disappear and lose its status because of global warming
- Special focus on the climate crisis; a dedicated section includes Extinction Rebellion and Bill McKibben (founder of 350.org), as well as Jakob Kudsk Steensen’s augmented-reality art, and large-scale photographs of humanity’s effects on the planet by Edward Burtynsky
- Radical thinker Douglas Rushkoff, feminist artist Penny Slinger, veteran AIDS awareness activist Avram Finkelstein (ACT-UP, Gran Fury), Jex Blackmore’s Sex Militant project, civil rights photographer Steve Schapiro, authors Tim Maughan and Nathalie Olah, artist Ekene Ijeoma, and poet Sean Bonney
- Artwork by David Shrigley, Heather Philipson, Joan Jonas, SKREI and Sebastian Mejia plus a double-sided pull-out with Scott King’s ‘Balloon for Britain’ and an exclusive poster for Gareth Pugh’s ‘Soul of a Movement’ documentary
