A magazine is just one part of the CURA. platform, which also consists of a publishing house and an exhibition programme. All elements are open to novel interactions and experiments around contemporary art, curation and research—this means the magazine itself is ever open to experiments in design and formats; this time, blending glossy and matte paper stock.
Featuring interviews, artworks, visual editorials, and more, this hefty Spring/Summer 2026 issue is themed ‘Soft Power’: ‘In times of conflict and imposed power structures, artists tell stories of different worlds and alternative narratives’. Inside, you’ll find an inspiring portfolio of contemporary artists responding to the issues of our time through a plethora of perspectives and mediums. Leading with a cover story on Paris-based multi-disciplinary artist Christelle Oyiri, whose featured audio-visual archive explores Black subjectivity and its relationship to trauma, the issue also spotlights the disruptive work of Sung Tieu, Cao Fei, Tabita Rezaire, and Róisín Tapponi, amongst others.
