As we enter the Issue V era, we want to look back at our final section of Issue IV featuring, of course, a gallery of hand-drawn faces from each one of the writers and contributors of the issue by the talented artist Iris fon Bloom (@irisfonbloom).

To be heard is to be seen, as to be seen is to be admired. Every issue, we’ve kept the long-standing tradition at perediza of having an artist draw every contributor in their art style and way, allowing them to have the freedom to interpret and explore the way they perceive each individual part of the publication.

Thank you, Iris, for allowing us to borrow your talent for Issue V, our burgundy issue, and all the amazing contributors part of it. We cannot wait for you all to see, celebrate and explore Issue V with us next weekend.
