Elsewhere in the magazine, we look at how the events of the past year have impacted different communities across the world. We spent months with the legendary Ultras of Marseille FC, exploring their evolving relationship with the football team they love and the city they regularly grapple with. Leaving dry land, we tracked the exploits of the Sea Clowns, a boat-based circus collective travelling from port to port, bringing joy and hedonism wherever they dock.

We visited Folkestone, Kent, to explore a town in the flux through the eyes of its skate scene, before heading to Dhanbad, India, where we discovered how the pandemic has impacted the lives of the Death Well riders, a daredevil group of motorcycle stuntmen who defy gravity and logic as part of their famed act.
