(intro)

Sauer is born from a shared vision and a friendship between two Berlin-based foreigners. We aim to create a media outlet that highlights the voices and creativity of under-represented and marginalised female-identifying beings worldwide. As we believe ideas can be expressed in many creative ways; we will select a word and make an open call for submissions.

Sultry

Sultry. Heat. Desire. Power. The word that lingers in the air before a storm, on the back of your neck in summer, in the look someone gives you across the room.
