The personal is political—we hope that the personal stories of wonderful misfits we introduce in the magazine will be a catalyst for each of us to also think about ourselves.
In the first issue of Troublemakers, a magazine embracing misfits, we met Remy Nitta, an Osaka-based American trans woman; Maya Sekine, a Japanese indigenous people Ainu culture advocat; Christian Cohle, an Irish singer-songwriter; and Mio Kojima and Maya Ober, co-directors of a Switzerland-based intersectional feminist platform Futuress. Also, we introduce German photographer Tamara Eckhardt’s photo documentary about an Irish minority group called Travellers and Japanese artist Taro Karibe’s essay on his depersonalization.
