The March issue of That's PRD is out now, in both paper-and-ink form citywide and digital PDF form on our website. Here, Senior Digital Editor Matthew Bossons introduces the magazine:
When you download this month’s issue of That’s PRD, you’ll be forgiven for thinking you accidently snagged an issue of Thrasher Magazine. That’s because, this month, we decided to ‘take it to the streets.’
Guangzhou Editor Daniel Plafker spent last month cruising around the Pearl River Delta, linking up with some of the region’s best-known skaters at ‘dope’ street spots, skate parks and public squares – where riders kick, push and coast alongside China’s ubiquitous dancing grannies. Read his in-depth profile of the PRD’s skate culture on pages 34-43.
In our City section, That’s Shanghai Editor-in-Chief Dominic Ngai chats with scholar and filmmaker Hodan Osman Abdi about her six-part documentary Africans in Yiwu. Abdi’s video project tells the unique and largely untold stories of Africans living in the largest small commodity market in the world: Yiwu, Zhejiang province. Learn more about the doc on pages 12-15.
To celebrate Women’s Day on March 8, we decided to profile seven influential women who are making a mark on China’s music industry (page 28) and take a look at the troubling education disparity between girls and boys (page 49).
Elsewhere in this issue, we share a vertigo-inducing hike in Hong Kong (page 19), profile three rockin’ new albums from South China-based artists (page 32) and, as per usual, share the latest and juiciest F&B news.
Before I wrap this up, I want to take this opportunity to thank Jason Guadalajara and Sergey Sidey for fantastic images that grace the pages of our cover story this month. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
And now, folks, I bid you adieu.
