''gal-dem''

gal-dem is a British online and print magazine produced by women of colour and non-binary people of colour.[1]

The magazine was founded by Liv Little in 2015. It produces one printed issue a year as well as its online format. The website has six content sections: arts, lifestyle, music, news, opinion, and politics.[1] The first print issue, "the gal-hood issue", sold out its print run of 1,000 copies; the second issue, "the home issue", was planned to have a print run of 3,000 and also sold out.[2][3]

In 2016 the gal-dem editorial collective curated an event at the Victoria and Albert Museum as part of its Friday Lates series. It showcased work by contemporary young artists of colour and was described in The Guardian as "nothing short of breathtaking".[4]

In August 2018 the gal-dem team guest-edited an issue of The Guardian Weekend magazine.[5][6][7]
