Now & Again describes itself as a collaborative independent magazine and a celebration of new ideas — the sudden outburst of inspiration that comes from the least likely of places. Published twice a year, each issue is centred around a common theme and handed to contributors across various artistic disciplines who explore their own interpretations through photography, illustration, essays, and design. The first three issues carved out their territory with characteristically open-ended themes: Disappearances in 2018, Sound in 2019, and Exquisite Corpse in 2020.
The editorial approach values breadth over depth in the traditional sense — a single issue might contain a photographer's response to the theme alongside an illustrator's, a writer's, and a designer's, each arriving at the same question from a completely different direction. The result is a magazine that functions as a curated exhibition on paper, where the conversation between contributions matters as much as any individual piece. A more recent edition explored filmmaking and the influence that cinema can have across creative disciplines.
For readers who want a magazine that feels like the beginning of a conversation rather than the end of one, Now & Again delivers that particular energy — collaborative, curious, and unafraid to revisit a theme from angles nobody expected.
