Anthea Hamilton features on the cover of the autumn / winter edition of Elephant magazine, along with Zadie Xa. The artists embrace alternative forms of identity in a dynamic photoshoot with Izzy Leach. “I think that we’re both constructing ourselves,” Hamilton suggests, as they talk to each other about the politics of pop culture and the rich potential of self-mythology⁠.
