The sun is shining, the weather is sweet, makes you want to move your dancing feet. Except that it’s also hot. Really hot. Too hot. And that, my friends is the annual summer paradox. Schools are out, the summer mass exodus has begun, the roads are empty or at least manageable, but it’s sort of too hot to go anywhere anyway, except to work because you have to!
Our cover for this month is thanks to Almakan and Dutch Illustrator, Jacco Bunt. As seen on the wall at upper STREET, these playful colors and visual symbols tell the story of STREET’s move to its new prominent seaside home, salt, and pepper shakers, and the prowess of the dominant tiger solidifies Almakan’s perseverance and desire to inhabit a lasting space in people’s culinary experiences in Kuwait.
