What's Happening?
Artist Bijou Karman has released 'Peace Eye,' a magazine that combines influences from 90s punk posters, vintage men's magazines, and old yoga books. The publication is a result of a week-long creative process, drawing inspiration from various sources,
including Robert Crumb and The Beatles' Revolver album cover. Karman's work reflects themes of feminist publications and psychedelic art, creating a unique visual narrative. The magazine serves as an expression of personal and cultural experiences, offering a nonsensical yet meaningful exploration of identity and creativity.

It highlights the role of visual art in challenging societal norms and exploring complex themes such as patriarchy and identity. The magazine's eclectic influences demonstrate the interconnectedness of different cultural eras and artistic movements, offering readers a fresh perspective on contemporary issues. Karman's work contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the role of art in society and its ability to inspire change.
