‘Where East meets West’
A charming title blending scrapbook aesthetics with a thoughtful curation of visual essays, interviews, editorials and cultural insights, Taara तारा (meaning ‘star’ in Hindi) seeks to provide a platform for the exchange of creative and critical ideas between cultures.
This fourth, midnight blue issue, turns its attention to Space—a concept explored by its contributors both literally and symbolically. Inside, a material scientist discusses designing space suits for future expeditions to Mars; Daniela Stubbs Leví reflects on how the laws of physics and astronomy became an anchor during grief in her latest exhibition; and a feature on the Mayans uncovers the civilisation’s mystical relationship with the stars and planetary system.
