SOCKET Magazine - London Metropolitan University
A magazine is synonymous with revelation, sharing and reflection; it is a colourful compact guide through ideas and suggestions that can stay with us even after newspaper headlines are shredded and hasty videos are scrolled away. There is no ‘perfect’ or ‘easy’ way to create and launch a magazine. Yet, the 20/21 BA Photography Year 2 students of the School of Art, Architecture and Design, London Metropolitan University, brought together their creative idiosyncrasies to produce a fantastic source of collective energy and inspiration – aptly called SOCKET. Diverse photographic genres blend in a symbiotic narrative that features selected work from the students’ array of projects. They reach out to the world with an inspective eye (AGORA), follow people to their various roots (TRACE), expose our shapeshifting mood in our strive for survival (CHAMELEON), and shed a spotlight on digital heroes and hidden icons (EYESOME). The productive cross-contamination of creative practices (in this instance, photography, poetry and painting) is celebrated as a serious field of enquiry in which the process of discovery transcends to the final outcome.

I am Nature
by Denitsa Stoyanova
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
William Wordsworth
