212, Issue 18 – Cura

PLEASE NOTE:
Magazine cover varies and particular cover cannot not be specified for order, but you can state your cover preference in the order notes at checkout and, if available, we will send that one.

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 CURA, we are in search of compelling stories and artistic expressions that highlight the multifaceted nature of care—focusing on how we emotionally adapt to rapid changes in the world. This includes a special emphasis on the experiences of both compulsory and non-compulsory immigration, the daily mental migrations we undertake as we navigate global events, and the process of renewal and emotional healing through art.

Our cover story ‘Vaulted Ceiling, Painted Sky’ features the fashion special for Prada Autumn/Winter 2024-25 Collection, shot by Ethan Hart and styled by Nilo Akbari.
