Elska Dhaka (Bangladesh)

Cette revue est disponible en anglais. La description est donc présentée dans la langue d'origine.

Issue 23: Elska Dhaka is the twenty-third issue and our second to be shot in South Asia, following our successful Elska Mumbai project. We wanted to return to the region but decided it might be interesting to feature a city in another country instead of India, which eventually led us to Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. In many ways this is our most unique and triumphant issue yet, made in a country where homosexuality is both explicitly illegal and where prosecutions and violent hate crimes still occur. While some people are of the opinion that we should avoid such countries, that the focus should be on more gay-friendly places, we feel that the voices of queer people in such places desperately need to be amplified. We're proud to let our readers get to know the bodies and voices of a people that we too scarcely give thought to. Inside this issue you'll get to know a group of local Dhaka men who we met on our trip, introduced through honest photography and intimate storytelling. Features images of / stories from: Upal W, Sunny B, Mominul S, Shaman E, Salman C, T Anoy, Raj B, and Mir R; plus our reader Q&A featuring Edward Hincks. Specifications:
