In this issue:

In Coming of Age, a work by the British artist Matt Copson, a child is born, grows, eats and, fueled by an avid curiosity about the world, devours everything around him, until he becomes an incarnation of what surrounds him and what quickly transforms him, even before consuming him: that is, a world that is too big and appalling, incompatible with the innocence of his young age. In the Fall Winter 24-25 issue which closes the fifteenth anniversary celebration of CURA., Coming of Age is a plural and multifaceted story of growth, discovery, affirmation, defeat and corruption, that recounts the ambiguities of the present time, the sense of loss of illusions, trapped in a reality in front of which one is both an adult and a child, corrupt and innocent, cynical and curious.
