Since 2018, PROVENCE has been administered as a collective with members scattered across Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Milan, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Riga, and Zürich. The magazine is an arts and culture publication that covers contemporary fashion, art, music, literature, and photography with the kind of decentralised energy that comes from having contributors in seven cities across four countries.
The collective model gives PROVENCE a genuinely international perspective that most magazines based in a single city cannot achieve. Each issue draws on the cultural life of all the places where its members live and work, producing a publication that feels simultaneously local and global — rooted in specific scenes and communities but connected by a shared editorial sensibility.
The name PROVENCE evokes warmth, landscape, and the good life — a counterpoint to the urban, digital, and often frantic world that the magazine's contributors inhabit. It is a publication that takes its time, values beauty, and believes that the best creative work comes from people who are paying attention to the world around them, wherever that world happens to be.
