What’s all this?
Cold Brew is a newsletter by me, Maddy Bazil.
I am an artist and writer interested in memory, intimacy, and the ways we navigate worlds—real and imagined. I was born in the US, educated in the UK and South Africa, and currently live in Cape Town. You can see some of my work on my site.
Cold Brew combines: My musings and cultural criticisms on life/love/art/current events/whatever. Links to long-form journalism that has struck me, and sometimes my opinions on it. The occasional recommendation of something cool I’ve listened to or laughed at or eaten lately. A splash of pretentious soliloquising, cut with a healthy dose of self-effacing humour. Maybe a meme or two.
More than anything else, though, the guiding idea behind this newsletter is a compulsion to slow down. To consume media in a mindful, thoughtful way. And to share it onward, in that same mindful way.
So join me - it’ll be fun.
