Pictoplasma’s second magazine issue shines a light on ‘Characters with a Cause’ and offers a surprising mix of recent work by leading international artists and upcoming talents.

This issue of the annual Pictoplasma Magazine features interviews with and statements by more than 20 artists, illustrators, designers and filmmakers who address political, personal and environmental topics, speak up in favour of social justice, or lend their voices to the fight for representation. In 2022, the main question seems to be: can work any longer afford to be immune to today’s urging political questions? Among the contributors are Afro-Belgian 3D artist Loulou João; Turkish artist Esra Gülmen; Baphoboy, from Thailand; US artist Matt Furie; Okuda San Miguel from Madrid and a conversation with Ailbhe Keane.
