Join MOLD Magazine for a panel convening Asian diasporic independent print magazine publishers for a generative conversation around the future of print. Featuring LinYee Yuan of MOLD Magazine, Lulu Yao Gioiello of FAR-NEAR and Blake Abbie of A Magazine Curated By, the panel explores how we might chart a more robust, expansive and culturally specific future within our existing media ecosystem.
This panel, to be held at FAR-NEAR’s space in Manhattan’s Chinatown, highlights the stories behind publications at the forefront of reimagining the future of print in addition to empowering attendees with a more transparent understanding of what goes into the making of a magazine and how they might apply that to their own publishing endeavors.
A Magazine Curated By is a fashion magazine that explores the universe of a chosen fashion designer in each issue. We invite a guest curator – an international fashion designer, group or house – to develop innovative, personalised content to express their aesthetic and cultural values. Each issue celebrates this designer’s ethos: their people, their passion, their stories, emotions, fascinations, spontaneity and authenticity.
FAR–NEAR is an artist-run curated cross-cultural book series, printed annually, that broadens perspectives of Asia through image, person, idea and history to unlearn the inherent dominative mode.
The Asian continent and its people have often been expressed through the lens of a foreign eye–painted as “the other” to a Western audience. Extending beyond the Far East, FAR–NEAR features voices from Japan to Iran and just about everywhere in between.
MOLD is a critically-acclaimed print and online magazine about designing the future of food. Through anti-disciplinary editorial exploration, we highlight the myriad ways that being in relationship with food can cultivate the guiding principle of livingness in human and more-than-human ecologies.
