Troublemakers #1 - Embracing Misfits

 Troublemakers #1 - Embracing Misfits

In the first issue of Troublemakers, we met Remy Nitta, an Osaka-based American trans woman; Maya Sekine, a Japanese indigenous people Ainu culture advocat; Christian Cohle, an Irish singer-songwriter; and Mio Kojima and Maya Ober, co-directors of a Switzerland-based intersectional feminist platform Futuress. Also, we introduce German photographer Tamara Eckhardt’s photo documentary about an Irish minority group called Travellers and Japanese artist Taro Karibe’s essay on his depersonalization.

The personal is political—we hope that the personal stories of wonderful misfits we introduce in the magazine will be a catalyst for each of us to also think about ourselves.
