SUSPEND Magazine joined forces with the curated art-focused event series The Creator's Corner for a joint creative zine titled "Cultures of L.A." which culminated in a live panel discussion with SUSPEND Editor-in-Chief Diane Abapo, Jeron Ward and Maya Patterson (The Creator's Corner), and three guest contributors: Angella Choe (photographer/creative director), Taylor Michael (model, cut and sew designer) and Patterson (creative director). Models who were featured in "Cultures of L.A." were brought up onstage alongside Abapo and host Thurz to discuss the process of creating each contributor's editorial section.
The collaborative zine was displayed page-by-page on a screen with insight and a hosted narrative as to how each photograph was composed, how the location was chosen, and what adidas meant to each L.A. native involved in the making of "Cultures of L.A."
