This fall, Aperture publishes “Arrhythmic Mythic Ra,” an issue that refracts themes of family, social history, and the astrophysical through the eyes of guest editor Deana Lawson, one of the most compelling photographers working today. Aperture issue 256 features the work of more than thirty photographers—including Berenice Abbott, Bruce Davidson, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Balarama Heller, Arthur Jafa, Kikuji Kawada, Sally Mann, Louis Mendes, Boris Mikhailov, and cover artist Lieko Shiga—alongside new poetry by renowned authors Ben Okri, Tracy K. Smith, and Simone White; an essay by economic anthropologist Jason Hickel; and a short story by artist Jeff Whetstone. Plus, the PhotoBook Review and more.
