EDITORIAL: Colonialism used religion as infrastructure, governing land, bodies, and morality. This piece examines how belief was enforced, Indigenous spiritual systems were erased, and why freedom of religion cannot exist without sovereignty.

Under colonial rule, religion functioned not only as faith but as policy. This piece explores how imposed belief systems facilitated displacement, moral regulation, and the erasure of Indigenous spiritual authority.

OUTDATED ID #2 with @andiohheyduhh // part 1/1

this photo of Andi was the first photo I shot for the magazine a few months ago. On that evening I told her about how I wanted to start Outdated & how I didn’t really get the logistics (I still have no idea), but I needed her to be one of the first highlights of it! I am so happy to finally release this image!

Me and Andi met in my first year in LA and ever since then we have collaborated on so many projects and it is such a joy to see her create and become the artist she is meant to be!

outdated vol.1•002

for this second personal editorial for outdated I wanted to bring some of the as passions I have for imagery of flowers, shoes, bugs, etc.

when i started taking photos, around 2021, I became obsessed with still life photography, specially after discovering the work of @marcelojarosz, the way he used elements like flowers and shoes was just brilliant to me, it had a big impact in how I see & do photography to this day!

I wanted to gather some of these elements and put it into work on an editorial and invited @_ronben_ and @pengjhao to help me with it since they also share some of those passions!

these were taken during a very chill afternoon at @pengjhao apartment in highland park!

OUTDATED ID #1 with @vivavilar // part 2/2

Viva Vilar’s heels were created as a response against a transphobic act against her, one that impeded her from showing off her art pieces. In need of positioning herself in opposition to that, she developed this project, putting herself on a pedestal using such a staple of women’s fashion, but also one that brings physical pain and is inherently part of a patriarchal image of women.

“This tension between pain and pleasure makes me think a lot about the pains and pleasures of being a trans woman. [...] My art walks hand in hand with my identity”.

Viva brings every part of herself when creating a new piece, be it a sculpture, a drawing, a performance and any other art form. “One of my objects of research is my own mind”, she tells OUTDATED, “It’s my own ideas, lived experiences, feelings, trauma and identity - so, sometimes all that introspection takes more time than I’d like”.

Pointing out the need for a “more constant outpour of art” when it comes to the industry, Viva says that the hardest part of the process is finding a way of making these really personal pieces in a timeframe that is more controllable.

“It takes a balance between the introspection, the doing, the building, the internal and external, you know? Finding that, this limbo between the mental and physical, that’s the hardest”.

Working with metal and concrete for a big part of her sculptures, the creative freedom of it all is also one of her favorite parts too, she points out, though: ”I draw, project and make mockups of all my pieces, for so long before working on them, so when the idea leaves my brain and takes up space and life, that’s my favorite part of creating”.

OUTDATED ID #1 with @vivavilar // part 1/2

Viva Vilar has welded her own pedestal - and by that, she means two things: first, the literal meaning, as Viva is a visual artist and performer, whose work includes sculptures of metal and concrete, in the shape of pedestals and heels, and second, the metaphor that comes with her work, one of pulling herself up as a trans woman and taking full ownership of her art.

Born into a family of artists, “I started creating ever since I was very young - from drawing to sculpting with playdough, to paper mache, to even gluing toys together with hot glue”, she tells Outdated. From Vitória, in Brazil, Viva found herself working with metal, inspired by her dad, who also sculpts with that medium.

“I’ve always felt a certain familiarity, a purity, when it came to working with metal - I think it’s because that was the first thing I understood as art”.

All through her process, Viva cites her friends and family as the biggest inspirations when it comes to her art: “These are the people who are constantly cheering me on and helping me evolve my work”. Pointing out illustrator Amanda Lobos and photographer Karol Abouts, Vilar opens up about leaning on her friends when it came to trusting herself and her decisions as an artist.

“They pushed me to work through the hardships of day to day life and to stand on my own two feet”, she explains. As a trans woman, her work also shows much of her lived experience, bringing out the dichotomy of living in a marginalized body, mixing the feminine of a heel with the hardness of construction materials to build herself.

“I’ve always said: my femininity is built of iron and concrete”.

All through her process, Viva cites her friends and family as the biggest inspirations when it comes to her art: “These are the people who are constantly cheering me on and helping me evolve my work”. Pointing out illustrator Amanda Lobos and photographer Karol Abouts, Vilar opens up about leaning on her friends when it came to trusting herself and her decisions as an artist.

“They pushed me to work through the hardships of day to day life and to stand on my own two feet”, she explains. As a trans woman, her work also shows much of her lived experience, bringing out the dichotomy of living in a marginalized body, mixing the feminine of a heel with the hardness of construction materials to build herself.

“I’ve always said: my femininity is built of iron and concrete”.

OUTDATED ID #1 with @vivavilar // part 1/2

Viva Vilar has welded her own pedestal - and by that, she means two things: first, the literal meaning, as Viva is a visual artist and performer, whose work includes sculptures of metal and concrete, in the shape of pedestals and heels, and second, the metaphor that comes with her work, one of pulling herself up as a trans woman and taking full ownership of her art.

Born into a family of artists, “I started creating ever since I was very young - from drawing to sculpting with playdough, to paper mache, to even gluing toys together with hot glue”, she tells Outdated. From Vitória, in Brazil, Viva found herself working with metal, inspired by her dad, who also sculpts with that medium.

“I’ve always felt a certain familiarity, a purity, when it came to working with metal - I think it’s because that was the first thing I understood as art”.
