Slanted Magazine #45—Sex embarks on a thought-provoking journey through themes of gender, body image, and sexuality, created in partnership with Munich’s Archive Artist Publications (AAP), directed by artist and archivist Hubert Kretschmer. This edition draws from one of the world’s most extensive private collections of artist publications, home to over 89,988 rare zines, booklets, posters, and other printed matter collected since the 1980s.

From contemporary and historical perspectives, this issue showcases zines, booklets, posters, and publications that engage with body politics, self-image, and identity. As visual narratives shape norms, marginalized bodies—non-binary, queer, disabled, racialized—are often underrepresented or portrayed in tokenized ways. Slanted Magazine #45—Sex invites readers to question these conventions and encourages a critical look at the media‘s role in representing bodies.

Through provocative visuals and diverse stories, Slanted Magazine #45—Sex opens the door to a deeper, multifaceted dialogue on bodies and belonging.

The cover artwork was designed by Guillaume Kashima.
