Fall 2022: The America Issue
Read online »

​

For eight years, ZEKE magazine has been publishing stories about the global human condition, but rarely has that involved the United States. Clearly the U.S. is part of the global community and we need to look at ourselves as much as we critically look at other parts of the world. The Fall 2022 issue of ZEKE focuses on “America” and takes inspiration from Robert Frank's seminal work, The Americans, published first in 1958 in France and the following year in the U.S.

ZEKE Award Winners

  • Awake in the Desert Land  by Sofia Aldinio
    This ongoing project documents how climate change is uprooting small, inland and coastal communities in Baja California, Mexico that depend directly on natural resources to survive and thereby threatening cultural heritage.

  • Path Away by Nicolò Filippo Rosso
    Two months after Hurricanes Eta and Iota hit Central America, 11 thousand people gathered in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, starting the first migrants' caravan of the year directed to the U.S. The migrants’ crossing through gang-controlled areas, deserts, and jungles was made even harder by the pandemic.
