Yup! We've made it through to 2022 with a brand new issue! 2022 was supposed to be different, but what with the newest variant of them all, Omicron rearing its ugly head at us all, challenging us to even dare think that perhaps, just maybe this whole Covid mess was behind us. As optimists (with a little bit of cynicism) our bazaar clan is focusing on the present instead and it IS a New Year after all! So, we’re starting a new chapter this issue by bringing you some awesome reads. We discover the power of how art can heal the soul via our Up Close & Personal interview with Alaa Naeem, catch up with Faisal Marei, who just dropped his new music video “Diamonds” and our long-time short story contributor Craig Loomis was also brave enough for a round of Truth or Dare too! We dine at The Base, create the best at-home BBQ with AMERICANA'S CRAVES range, and so much more in this brand new issue! Happy Reading!
