Discontent is an independent publication that channels the creative energy of dissatisfaction into something productive. The magazine covers art, culture, and ideas from a perspective that is critical without being cynical — a publication that takes the frustrations and discontents of contemporary life seriously enough to make something beautiful out of them.
The editorial voice is sharp and engaged, written by people who are paying attention to what is wrong with the world but who believe that creative work is one of the best responses to it. The photography is striking, the design is purposeful, and the overall sensibility is one of productive anger — the kind that builds things rather than burns them down.
Discontent understands that the most interesting art often comes from discomfort, and that a magazine willing to sit with that discomfort can produce something that comfortable publications never will.
