Dust №22 – The spanish issue

This issue of DUST and its title differ from the concepts and themes we have developed over the last decade, attempting to explore the contemporary experience of youths from an existential perspective within the context of the times we live in. Instead, this issue is personal, centred around a place we hold dear. We have chosen Spain for many reasons: its location, its people, its spirit, as well as its ease of being unpretentious and real. Or, perhaps, for its way of looking ahead and prioritising individuality over traditional beliefs. Or, maybe, even because it’s a country that isn’t scared of change and takes on challenges boldly. We love Spain, especially because of its fervent youths and how they are now bringing their heritage alive, finally finding their voice in contemporary culture. For all these reasons, this issue of DUST and its title differ from the concepts and themes we have developed over the last decade. This is a personal issue with a first-person perspective on the country we now call home. This is our Spanish Issue.
