Fedato hopes FUCK 2020 inspires readers to explore how porn art could redefine recent sadness and ruin, as the magazine shares work on a variety of issues related to isolation, queerness, feminism and digital sex in a more optimistic and festive light.
“It was important for us to set the right tone for the magazine,” Fedato wrote. “We were dealing with delicate themes, but the stories are about empowerment, optimism and political reflections. It’s been a dark year for many of us, but that’s not the magazine’s purpose. “
