Art and politics – two things that don’t mix. The geniuses at OUSA scheduled Art Week and the elections in the same week. We wanted to cover both so we’ve bought you a magazine that tries to pay both service. Indeed, we are your one stop shop for all your OUSA election needs (sorry, we’ll return to normal next week). Our news team (and special guest pundits!) cover every angle imaginable at the front of the magazine (it starts on p8) – then hear from the candidates themselves at the back from p56. Wedged in between it all is some awesome art. Check it out. Plaster your walls with it.
