Tidal’s first double cover featuring Julio Torres shot by Kevin Alexander












Tidal’s Spring/Summer 2025 issue features Julio Torres, Ali Sethi, Brittany Broski, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, Yvonne Wells, Liam Lee, and Misha Japanwala.

Issue 20 brings together visionaries across art, fashion, music, and activism. Julio Torres and Ziwe trade notes on creativity and chaos; Ali Sethi explores the spiritual and political dimensions of sound; and Brittany Broski opens up about going from viral fame to pop music. We spotlight a conversation between artists Yvonne Wells, Liam Lee, and Misha Japanwala who are transforming craft into something radically connective. Plus: climate activist Xiuhtezcatl Martinez on the power of Indigenous resistance, and fashion that dares to dream.
