212 is a large-format international biannual magazine based in Istanbul.

It’s a publication about art and society and each issue will tackle various universal subjects within a distinct theme, through long-form writing, short fiction, photo essays and interviews.

212 is a playground for photographers, artists and writers to communicate their thoughts on any given subject matter. Our aim is to collide the worlds of photography, art, fashion, and culture at large, with an in-depth editorial identity that affectionately merges the past with the present, as we like to call it the ‘long-now’.

In this issue:

With our new theme, we explore the concept of authenticity in an era where digital content often leads to ‘authenticity fatigue.

As the line between self-expression and performance blurs, and algorithms begin to shape even our most personal gestures, we ask: what truly belongs to us? In a world oversaturated with images and information, we reflect on authenticity not as a fixed state, but as a fluid, daily practice of reclaiming who we are.
