Tidal’s Summer 2026 print issue features Myhal’a, Poppy Liu, Supriya Ganesh, Arooj Aftab, Lana Labany, and the Transformative Power of Art. Tidal magazine Issue 21 is a celebration of bold artists in uncertain times. Centered on individuality and creative resilience, the issue spotlights voices forging their own paths rather than following trends. Cover star Myha’la leads a lineup of boundary-pushing women, alongside actor and comedian Poppy Liu, actor Supriya Ganesh, and musicians Arooj Aftab and Lana Labany, each of whom explores identity, artistry, and self-expression on their own terms.

Across its features, interviews, and fashion editorials, Issue 21 embraces the spirit of the anti-mainstream, highlighting artists whose work emerges from the space between hope and ambiguity. The result is a vibrant, human-centered issue that champions originality, empathy, and the transformative power of art.
