The Big Issue #260
- 20 September to 19 October 2018
Our theme for this issue is “Neighbourhoods of the Worlds”. Thanks to contributions from the 2017 Sony World Photography Awards, we catch a glimpse into neighbourhoods from around the globe, including Cape Town and Havana, Cuba (see page 4). Each photograph tells its own story.
If you’re a nature lover, look out for our wildlife photography (see page 16). Our stunning cover image of a puffin with a mouthful of sand eels was captured by Nigel Hodson on a trip to Skomer Island in Wales.
We also reached out to several local photographers (see page 14) and artists (see page 22) who graciously granted us access into communities that they’ve captured in recent years. We hope that you will be as intrigued and delighted by their work as we have been.
