For magazine is a brand new independent print magazine highlighting universal topics facing humanity and approaching each subject with an optimistic attitude. With interviews from around the world, each story and article focuses on inspiring individuals who empower readers to create change in their own communities.
The premiere issue, For: Maturing, focuses on aging – with 156 pages of 10 exclusive features from 13 countries in 5 languages. Featured individuals come from a wide range of countries and experiences, including Delis Palacios, a Colombian community representative in the recent peace treaty negotiations; former U.S. President Jimmy Carter in a personal conversation with actress and activist Sheri Mann Stewart about his lifelong fight for human rights; and Academy Award-nominated artist JR (full list below).
As a unique expression of the issue’s theme of maturing, a very special limited-edition cover will be released later this summer – produced to change as it ages. A hidden personal message from the cover subject will only reveal over time, using a special photochromic ink that starts near-invisible and changes color to become visible through exposure to ultraviolet light.
“For Magazine is all about inspiring individuals and the communities they live and work in. In our first issue, we are excited to be able to celebrate people from around the world who are doing amazing things around maturing.” said Katherine Durgin-Bruce, Editor-in-Chief of For magazine. “Personal stories can have an inspiring and empowering effect on people, and we believe that every individual in the world can make a difference.”
“In today’s political landscape, with growing nationalism and fast-paced media, there is a real need for positivity. There are individuals around the world who are taking selfless action to improve lives for others, and we want to share these inspiring stories.” said Patrick Durgin-Bruce, Creative Director of For magazine. “We hope that we can help build a global sense of cultural empathy, and inspire more personal actions.”
The second issue will be on the topic of Belonging, focusing on individuals who help others find community, exploring how location and culture affect our sense of identity. We are currently taking story submissions.
