Silent Movers

THE DOERS ISSUE

For our latest issue, the backstage folks take center stage; we talk to talented and generous individuals from various creative fields on working behind the scenes, championing a cause, a brand, or a person they believe in. From Italy to Indonesia, and from art curators to housewives, we tell the real stories of folks around the globe who wield power and influence behind the scenes; these are the silent movers who are just as crucial to the narrative as the causes, brands and people that they represent.
