In issue #2, first released in print in 2016, we wanted to bring to the forefront people, ideologies and opinions that have, for too long, been brushed aside or ignored completely.

We hoped this edition of mous would not dictate the dialogue surrounding these issues, but rather start the conversation.  

Whether it’s a push back against preconceived gender norms, or against whitewashing in Australian television, or against pre-established design models we hope that the ideas explored in this issue of mous highlight the opportunities of change.

In this issue of mous you can expect to find interviews with solo artist and guitarist for The Strokes Albert Hammond Jr and influential Australian porn actress Lucie Bee, alongside articles that explore the importance of an indigenous presence in Australian architecture and the current state of refugee mental health on Nauru.
