Witches, club kids, tarots and township punks: Accent applauds the otherweirdly
Accent – the quarterly digital magazine celebrating ‘lives lived outside the ordinary’ – has just dropped issue eight and the line-up is as bizarre and brilliant as ever.
As well as legendary youth culture photographer Derek Ridgers sharing his insights from the frontline of 80s Soho club culture, there’s a snapshot of the vibrant punk underworld in Burma experienced first-hand by musician Greg Holland and a study of the eclectic residents of New Orleans’ French Quarter.
One of the more personal stories comes in the form of a conversation with Harnaam Kaur, a young Sikh woman who has been proudly growing her fabulous beard since the age of 16 after being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome.
