KNOCKING AT A NEIGHBOUR’S DOOR It usually started with my grandma saying, “Ok guys, go get some bread” , and my cousins and I would run towards the door, knowing that all of us were ready to go on the mini market “road trip.” I call it a road trip because it would literally take us hours to go to the bakery about 5 minutes from my grand- mother’s house! The first thing we needed was a rock we could kick to each other on the way. In our mind, it was a ball, and we played football like no one else! It sounds very simple, but the truth is that on our way there, we would argue, laugh, knock on the neigh- bour’s door and run away, and decide what flavour of biscuits we would buy in an argument that would last at least 15 minutes. It was little things like this that made our growing up experience so spe- cial. My cousins are like siblings to me. Once we decided to create a business, so I bought stationery and sold it at our grandma’s door for a small profit. We also decided to form a band with original lyrics and songs, and even tried to build a tiny house out of bricks taken from a place next door… that didn’t go that well! It was very unsafe, and our parents went crazy when they saw us working with cement and bricks! Another fun time was when we went to get the eggs from the chickens. I’m telling you; it was like a battlefield! By the end of the school day, it was time to run to granny’s house to watch Dragonball. Back then, we could only watch the episode of that day; if we missed one, it was considered a tragedy! On that street, we grew up and played day and night, learned how to ride bicycles, and had little accidents with our rollerblades, but we would always fall, stand up and continue just like that, with no tears and supported by each other. Going home time was when it started to get dark and only after our mothers had screamed our names for the 20th time! How great was that? Nowadays, we find ourselves telling our kids to put down their screens and go and play outside. Kids and teens these days go from home to school and back again, where they sit surrounded by so many toys and games. If they have 1 minute of doing “nothing,” they get bored. They must be 0 0 5 busy every second of the day, with access to everything just one click away. This overstimulation makes studying or just sitting and talking with family less attractive. My cousins and I would spend hours talking and laughing – where is all that now? And we parents are the first ones to stare at our phones or play candy crush. Life races past so fast that sometimes we miss the most amazing little moments, the moments that truly matter. It is easy to talk, but we need to change something. Let’s act and take our kids to the street/ garden/countryside where we spent most of our days as a kid. Do things like running, laughing, telling jokes and even knocking at a neighbour’s door and running away… or not. Let’s take education to the street, the countryside, and the beach. After all, essential lessons are to be found out there and not at home sitting in front of a TV or phone! Please send us your growing up stories and experiences. In this edition, we were inspired by neighbourhoods, by the magic of being a kid and playing outside. We have unique fashion editorials full of colour and fun on the following pages! We also take some things serious- ly, including obstetric violence. Have you been a victim and don’t even know?

Here’s what you need to know A MOTHER’S ROLE My daughter came out as a transgender TRAVEL The U.S National Parks THIS ISSUE ILLUSTRATOR A multifaceted artist, Ana Strumpf is, above all, a creator. The graphic and playful multi- -coloured drawings that mark her work proves she has plenty of something that is rare to find these days: identity. Whether in the delicacy of her personal output, or in the aesthetic power that emerges from her commissioned works, her illustrations show distinguished signs of an authorial voice. Ana’s drawings go beyond paper. They’re in fabric prints, wallpapers and the surfaces of several products. They often superimpose photos or images by other artists, as in her Re.Cover series of interventions on magazine covers that were seen all around the world. @anastrumpf Next >
