Turning London’s Free Publications into Contemporary Collages with @the.daily.splice

For your daily dose of Adam’s contemporary collage art, follow @the.daily.splice on Instagram.

Thanks to fellow commuters leaving behind free magazines on London’s Tube, Adam Hale (@the.daily.splice) compiles material for his daily collages on the go. “I thought it would strike a chord on social media, as there’s an immediacy to the work in which current topics, trends and affairs are given new context, turning something disposable into something of permanence,” says Adam.

Although a lot of people assume that Adam’s works are created digitally, everything is done by hand. Adam sees the analogue art form of collaging — and its challenges — as a welcome change from his day job at a digital company. “It’s often very hard to ‘splice’ images together without the ability to flip or resize individual elements as you would on a computer, but I enjoy problem-solving and it feels great when something finally slots into place.”

Bringing Together a Generation of Young Artists And Feminists, with @malalafund

For more images and stories from young activists, follow @malalafund and explore the #booksnotbullets hashtag.

In true teen idol fashion, Malala Yousafzai (@malalafund) inspires girls around the world to create fan art. And the Nobel Peace Prize winner, who turns 18 years old today, found and shared one particular drawing on her Instagram account — made in chalk, featuring the words “extremists have shown what frightens them most: a girl with a book.”

The drawing was created by 16-year-old Morgan Ciocca (@macklemorgz) from Kansas City, Kansas, and it was shared with Malala by her 16-year-old best friend, Maddi McMaster (@maddibraps).

“It’s odd to reflect on how Malala’s story has impacted my life, since it has with such immensity,” says Maddi. “To me, the quote on Morgan’s drawing means that for women across the world, knowledge and education are our greatest powers and weapons against sexism.”

Morgan’s chalk piece was made during an art day at her high school, where she was asked to illustrate something that reflected diversity and inclusion. Turning it into a tribute to Malala was a no-brainer.

“Recently, I taught my ten-year-old sister and a few of her friends the meaning of feminism and about Malala,” says Morgan. “I believe young women see someone who very much resembles them, standing up for her rights, and feel as if they can do the same.”
