The first issue of Kinfolk includes essays and photographs encouraging a more natural approach to entertaining with friends and family. Features are categorized by the size and type of small gathering: entertaining for one, entertaining for two or entertaining for a few. The issue is a collaborative project that involved more than 40 artists who all explored the idea of small-scale entertaining. Every element reflects the way we feel entertaining should be: simple, creative and uncontrived. The issue offers practical ideas (such as Entertaining Paper, Organic Table Settings, Cloth Napkins and A Menu for Two), reflective essays (such as Wilderness Escape and Spice Warehouse) and many beautiful photo essays (such as Cabin with Friends and Alone Time). It also offers tips and suggestions from experts such as florist Sarah Winward and event planner Jenny Steffens Hobick, as well as recipes for Overnight Tomatoes, Cocoa Nib Shortbread Rounds, Best Berry Salad and A Darn Good Sandwich—all that and a Summer Playlist. “Many ideas are shared exclusively through imagery and films without rigid step-by-step guides, leaving room for your own personality and creative touch. Our goal is for each issue to be an inspiring and reflective experience for each contributor and reader involved… The magazine is all about inspiring one another to share our tables more often, to open our doors and hearts to family and friends—our Kinfolk.” —Nathan Williams, Editor Publication Design by Amanda Jane Jones Cover Photograph by Youngna Park

This second volume of "Kinfolk" explores simple ways to spend time with friends during the fall and winter seasons. Morning walks, using natural candlelight, escaping with friends for a weekend retreat in the mountains or on the coast, or revisiting nostalgic traditions. Over 30 well-known photographers have collaborated with stylists, filmmakers, chefs, bakers, and their own close friends to document these meals and activities as inspiration for others to experiment with new ways of entertaining. The honest, natural, uncontrived mood of the imagery targets individuals within the growing popularity of recreational cooking and domestic entertaining. Articles connect readers with the creative individuals behind restaurant meals, and encourage a simplified way of approaching their own entertaining at home. The issue is a collaborative project that involved more than 60 artists who contributed essays, photographs, ideas, paintings and films.

It also offers entertaining advice from experts such as Heidi Swanson and chefs Inaki Aizpitarte, Gregory Marchand and Hugo Desnoyer. “This magazine is about more than cooking and eating. We are interested in why we cook and eat together, and in the people, relationships and social elements that keep us inviting company into our homes. We’re simplifying what seems to be an increasingly complicated and intimidating concept: entertaining. Even the word sounds stiff and formal, when it reality it’s quite simple, and we do it all the time. We don’t need a week’s notice, seating charts, name cards—we don’t even need a meal… This is a place to share ideas and inspiration for those simple get-togethers and moments. That is what we’re about.” —Editor Nathan Williams Publication Design by Amanda Jane Jones Cover Photograph by Jessica Peterson

This third volume of Kinfolk explores how we all might benefit from incorporating more of the things we love into our daily routines instead of saving them for the weekend or our next vacation. The essays and personal stories focus on welcoming food, community, and simplicity into our lives as regularly as possible. The issue is a collaborative project that involved more than 50 artists who contributed essays, photographs, ideas, paintings and films. The issue offers practical ideas (such as On the Road/Off the Grid, Office Hygge and The Goodness of Handcrafted Gifts), reflective essays (such as A Quiet Life, Revisiting Our Temples and Two-Week Experiment) and many beautiful photo essays (such as Morning Rituals, Chicken and Egg and Savoring Spring). It also offers ideas and suggestions from experts such as the family behind Olivia Te Cuida, Marjorie Taylor (The Cook’s Atelier) and the folks behind Marlow & Sons, along with our usual coverage of small events and gatherings. “These meals, moments and places make us who we are individually and collectively. This is the time of year when I mark the calendar for road trips and weekend getaways, and when I start to look forward to summer. But it’s also the time when I pause to enjoy the growing light in the evenings, throw open windows and doors to the spring air and invite friends over to celebrate the change in weather. The essays and personal stories focus on welcoming food, community and simplicity into our lives as regularly as possible and exploring simple weekday ideas that will bring us together. Our hope is that you’ll find small ways to build your community as you read of people working on their own.” —Editor Nathan Williams Publication Design by Amanda Jane Jones Cover Photograph by Seth Smoot

The meals and activities we promote with Kinfolk vary, but they are all based on our goal to create and strengthen relationships and to find more meaningful ways to connect and entertain.” —Editor Nathan Williams Publication Design by Amanda Jane Jones Cover Photograph by Young & Hungry

This issue is our ‘thanks’ to whoever has been behind these activities for us. We’re looking back with gratitude and looking forward with ideas to try out this year like simmer pots, tree hunting, proper fire-building techniques and pine-needle teas…. We don’t all observe the same traditions, enjoy the same dishes or even call these winter holidays by the same names, but surely we share an appreciation of how these months pull us together. Cheers to that.” —Editor Nathan Williams Publication Design by Amanda Jane Jones Cover Photograph by Tec Petaja Cover Styling by Nathan Williams

Because with ice cream there is no such thing as moderation.” —Nikaela Marie Peters “This issue is an ode to ice cream. Much of what we’d like to cover with Kinfolk is related to food, community and the social elements of entertaining, so naturally ice cream is an appropriate theme—few things are as successful at bringing us together. It makes us abandon our differences for the greater, sugary, creamy goodness that it is. We explore its origins, reminisce about ice cream affairs from when we were kids and experiment with recipes… Crack the spine, sit back and enjoy this round with a cone or bowl of something cold.” —Editor Nathan Williams Cover Photograph by Parker Fitzgerald using a Leica M3 and Kodak Professional Portra 160 Film.

OUR EIGHTH ISSUE IS A GLIMPSE OF JAPAN THROUGH THE KINFOLK LENS. It highlights what we love about this unique country. We cast a wide net and narrowed our focus on Japan, whose culture seems to echo many of the same principles we try to live by. We are excited to share all the photographs, recipes, skills and ideas our contributors put together for this stunningly beautiful issue.

We don’t consider ourselves cultural experts—our approach has been smaller in scope and more intimate and personal. This issue is a glimpse of Japan through the Kinfolk lens; it highlights what we love about this unique country, including the basic values, skills and recipes that come together to form the beautifully simple lifestyle we know is worth exploring. It’s doubtful that any one person, team or country can take credit for creating a simple, balanced, grounded food lifestyle, but many of our Japanese friends are excellent contenders. We are eager to share all the inspiration, recipes and tips we have learned from them.” —Editor Nathan Williams

We decided to dig deep on the subject of weekends and leisure to re-learn how to do nothing live more adventurously and embrace those two days, which are meant equally for rejuvenation and invigoration. We came up with some practical tips for reversing hazardous work hours with our Weekend Workaholic Detox, and even share some harsh love with reminders on why you should exercise, but you may want to think twice before jogging through Manhattan on a busy Saturday. Our team found the most encouragement by hearing from inspiring artists and makers who have discovered their own ways to balance work, family, hobbies and downtime. Take our Weekend issue, kick back, slip off your shoes and simply get out there and enjoy some good food and your favorite people.” —Editor Nathan Williams On the cover Photograph by Hideaki Hamada Photograph is of Shoichiro Aiba, owner and chef of Life and Life Son.

This winter edition of Kinfolk—The Aged Issue—is dedicated to all things that get better with time: loved ones, food, family traditions and a good bottle of wine. The Kinfolk team explores how the older folks in our lives can teach us how to live more fully and how to embrace each new candle on our cake with style and grace. As some anonymous old chap once said, “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” While many magazines pressure readers to hang on to youth, Kinfolk investigates how our lives are enriched by the people, meals and traditions of things past. One writer considers the inevitable day you realize you’re turning into your mother, while another reflects on the way life—like fruit—is about picking that perfectly ripe moment. Chefs share family recipes they’ve perfected over time, classic recipes updated for the modern era and a holiday menu that's easy to chew. There are gray hairs and salt-and-pepper beards, napping tips and ancient culinary tools. The connection? Everything in this issue gets better, or tastier, with age. Kinfolk is a place to discover new things to cook, make and do. Our growing international community is generous when it comes to sharing ideas for small gatherings, ways to take good care of friends and family and living a grounded, balanced lifestyle that is about connecting and conversation. Stunning photographs and colorful illustrations target individuals interested in recreational cooking and home entertaining. The collaborative style and content connects a growing demographic with creative individuals such as chefs, home cooks, designers, photographers and crafters, and encourages a laid-back approach to entertaining at home. OUR TENTH ISSUE OF KINFOLK IS ALL ABOUT THINGS THAT GET BETTER WITH AGE. This issue of Kinfolk—the Aged Issue—contains rituals of the past and musings on the future. One writer laments that inevitable day you realize you’re turning into your mother, while another reflects on the way life—like fruit—is about picking that perfectly ripe moment. We suggest ways to feel older instead of younger and let you gaze into the history-filled eyes of people who have lived a full century. Our favorite chefs share family recipes they’ve perfected over time, we reinvent wintertime dishes our grandmothers used to (often badly) make and create a menu designed for eating with and without dentures. There are gray hairs and salt-and-pepper beards, napping tips and ancient culinary tools. The connection? Everything in this issue gets better, or tastier, with age. — Here’s what you’ll find in the issue: • Photo essays on the faces and fingers of centenarians, the plodding pace of glaciers, the perfect moment of ripeness, the grace of gray hair and birthday cakes for all ages • Essays on welcoming old age, the revealing marks in aging cutting boards, turning into your mother, going gray early, the legacy of Shakers, reading aloud and acquired tastes • A profile series on aging food processes and expert advice from Oregon makers. A look at end-of-year rituals from around the world • A social history of pubs; an educated guide to hot toddies; a chef reflects on his family’s dim sum tradition; a supper club focusing on recipes of grandmothers • A Soft-Serve Menu: Easy-to-chew holiday fare such as Roasted Beet Soup, “Blue Christmas” Potatoes and Mashed Potatoes and Espresso Rum Mousse • Top Chefs: Interviews with and recipes from top-selling cookbook authors Mollie Katzen (Mac & Chili & Cheese), Yotam Ottolenghi (Portobello Mushrooms with Pearled Barley and Preserved Lemons) and Alice Waters (Almond Milk Panna Cotta) • An illustrated guide to coffee evolution, tips for sending parcels, advice on how to behave like an old person and how to feel younger, a list of things that are gone but shouldn’t be forgotten • Plus, modern etiquette tips from Emily Post’s great-great-granddaughter, a quiz on ancient culinary tools, retirement activities, a guide to napping, how to be neighborly to your older friends and remembrances from things past • Recipes for Dim Sum, Hot Toddies, Classic Ice Cream Cake and an update on the old classic: Lamb Shepherd’s Pie — “The older folks in our lives can teach us a lot about how we should live. We believe we’re made fuller by the people, meals and traditions of things past. Other aspects of life also improve with a little time: wine, truffles, a good jar of sauerkraut. Simplicity in design survives longer than the complex. Processes such as fermenting, pickling and curing bring out the flavors in foods through extending their lives. While making this issue, we’ve gleaned kindhearted advice from the elderly friends in our lives, and they all speak the same message: Love a lot, laugh often and once you’re over the peak of that hill, prepare for life to pick up pace as gravity brings you rolling back down the other side. So please: Pour yourself a hot drink, curl up on the couch and enjoy our fresh take on old things.” — Editor in Chief Nathan Williams & Editor Georgia Frances King ON THE COVER Photograph by Neil Bedford Model Helen Storey Petticoat by AB, available at Egg Paintings by Katie Stratton

Welcome.” —Nathan Williams (editor in chief) and Georgia Frances King (editor) Cover photograph by Maia Flore Paintings by Katie Stratton

KINFOLK ISSUE TWELVE: THE SALTWATER ISSUE Kinfolk's Summer 2014 edition will explore the world's oldest and most used seasoning while also looking at it—and us—in its natural habitat: the sea. Instead of the stereotypical nostalgic summer issue full of things we've covered already (swimming, surfing, hammocks, etc.), this issue will focus not only on our salty theme but also on encouraging people to get outside and be spontaneous in the warm weather. Sunlit, euphoric photo essays will be accompanied by salty commentary and social history: Think of it as a summer issue with a seasoning of culture. We'd love for our readers to walk—or swim—away from this issue with a few of things on their minds: to take themselves less seriously, to not be afraid to try something new, to flow with the tides (or to push against them at the right moment) and, most importantly, to build a sandcastle and have some fun. This issue's double-barreled concept will provide the readers both with a carefree outlook and a solid backbone of research, food culture and dinner-table conversation. Care to put your toes in? The saltwater's warm. WELCOME TO KINFOLK ISSUE TWELVE, THE SALTWATER ISSUE. The Saltwater Issue of Kinfolk explores one of the oldest and most universal seasonings and its natural habitat: the sea. As the temperature rises, so does our impulse to immerse ourselves in the ocean, along with the stories, culture and food that come with it. We invite you to grab a towel, dip your toes in and enjoy our summer issue. Kinfolk Issue Twelve includes such stories as: • Photo essays on having a lazy summer, flipping in midair, salty sweat, a Bay Area sand artist, and travel photo essays that take us to salt-encrusted landscapes in Bolivia and Peru • Essays on the lure of the sea, sunburn, whale songs, John Steinbeck’s connection to the water, the one that got away (failed fisherman’s guide), fearing the ocean, the case for crying and a letter from pepper (to salt) • Interviews with the Meadow’s Mark Bitterman, best-selling author and former fisherman Mark Kurlansky, urban salt maker Sarah Sproule and a professional sandcastle builder • Illustrated guides on summer jobs, the story behind sailor tattoos and How to be Neighborly while spending the day on the beach • The Salt and Vinegar Menu: A series of recipes inspired by the classic flavor combination featuring Shaved Summer Squash Salad with Charred Corn, Stuffed Salt and Vinegar Potato Skins and Grilled Chicken with Blackberry Balsamic Sauce • Life on the Water: We visit the homes of families who live next to the water in Maine, New Zealand, Italy and Denmark • The history of salt water taffy and a list of the essential characteristics of a British seaside town • A Culinary Roundtable featuring a variety of chefs, food writers and others. A roundtable on the changing state of the sea featuring surfers, salt makers, a marine biologist and others • Recipes for modern snow cones, Ricky’s Ensenada-Style Fish Tacos and Brown Butter Salted Honey Pie. Also: a guide to catching and eating squid — “We are more connected to both the sea and seasoning than you might think, which is probably why the rising temperature brings with it an urge to seek the closest body of water and dive in headfirst. The lingering hint of salt that rests on your lips after a day by the ocean is a sign of a well-spent summer, and in this issue we’d like to suggest a few more ways to enjoy those sun-soaked days. The Saltwater Issue is a double-barreled exploration into the world’s most ubiquitous mineral that also doubles as one of the season’s key ingredients. Think of it as a carefree summer issue seasoned with a pinch of culinary history.” —Nathan Williams (editor in chief) and Georgia Frances King (editor) Cover photograph by Charlie Schuck Paintings by Katie Stratton

THE IMPERFECT ISSUE What is perfection, anyway? The Fall 2014 issue of Kinfolk explores the beauty of imperfection across food, people, ideas and more, showcasing the narratives these notions encompass. Nothing is perfect and it's often the most highly flawed things that give life its charm. So-called flaws should be embraced, diversity should be revered and eccentricity encouraged. The Imperfect Issue puts things society might deem rough around the edges under a microscope to explore their true character. Whether it's mismatched eyes, patched-up clothing or a broken plate, such unusual features often reveal lives lived to the fullest and rich with stories. WELCOME TO KINFOLK ISSUE THIRTEEN, THE IMPERFECT ISSUE. For our autumn edition, we’d like to celebrate the holes in our socks, our scorched attempts at marmalade-making and all the crappy haircuts we’ve had over the years. We’re all guilty of occasionally attempting to make our lives seem a little cleaner or a bit more organized, but the reality is often quite different. There’s nothing wrong with daydreaming of an idyllic life, but what if we dropped the facade for a moment and celebrated our shortcomings? These flawed details are the beautifully blemished collateral of a life lived to the fullest. So make mistakes. Make a mess. Be imperfect. Stories you’ll find in Kinfolk Issue Thirteen – Natural Judgment: an essay exploring our blind eye toward nature’s flaws, along with a photo series showcasing oddly shaped shrubs in San Francisco – Going Against the Grain: an exploration into being the odd one out – Wear and Tear: a photo essay highlighting the appeal of worn clothing, paired with an encouragement to flaunt your flaws – Julia Child’s Guide to Cooking Terribly, complete with a recipe for Fallen Cheese Soufflé – Culinary Calamities: Six chefs tell us their stories of epic fails and war wounds – An interview with New York City Ballet’s prima ballerina Wendy Whelan – A profile series with three judges (a Pulitzer Prize–winning restaurant critic, a Westminster Dog Show judge and an Olympic Gymnastics judge) on evaluating perfection – Seeing Double: a portrait series noting the small differences between twins – The Extremists’ Guide to Home Decor: tips for minimalists and maximalists – Home Tours: a look around some patched-up homes in Greece and France – Playing with Fire: a menu based around burning your food on purpose; a recipe series of what to make When Life Gives You Lemons; and an essay about the failures of making marmalade along with a foolproof recipe for making Blood Orange and Bourbon Marmalade – Plus, articles about improvisation, Navajo weaving techniques, art conservation, kintsugi, accidental inventions, imperfect music and crappy haircuts “The autumn edition explores the idea of imperfection in all its glory, celebrating the chips in the woodwork that come from taking chances and making memories.” — Nathan Williams & Georgia Frances King On the cover Photograph Neil Bedford Art Direction Charlotte Heal Styling Rachel Caulfield Model Henry Evans at Next Paintings by Katie Stratton

“Instead of determining how little we can live with, it’s about working out what we cannot live without” The Essentials Issue will explore the different meanings of life’s fundamentals and suggest ways we can incorporate them into our daily lives. We want to uncover the heart, the kernel, the foundation, the bedrock—whatever brings us back to our cores. Deciding what is essential in our lives isn’t about paring back our belongings and forgoing our beloved but unnecessary frivolities: Instead of determining how little we can live with, it’s about working out what we cannot live without.

The autumn edition of Kinfolk explores the relationships we have with our nearest and dearest, in all of their iterations. We ask some big questions: How is photography changing the way we construct our family narratives? Should we feel guilty about speaking to our barista more than our sister? And did our parents actually have any idea what they were doing? Our concept of family is deeply personal and forever evolving. No matter what kind of family we come from or the type of family we want to create ourselves, there’s no longer a universal concept of “normal.” There’s no ubiquitous manual to consult, rules to follow or boxes to check. Well, maybe just a few: love, understanding, empathy and support. And perhaps a little patience.

For our winter edition, we explore the relationship between community and design. How can design strengthen bonds with our families, friends and neighbors? And how can good design improve our quality of life? Design is a type of communication. It’s about the way an object or idea speaks to its audience. But good design not only gets its message across—it also engages us in a conversation. The voices in this issue’s pages have taught us that there’s no set of rules that govern what constitutes “good design.” Form doesn’t have to follow function, function doesn’t have to follow form—in fact, there shouldn’t be any following at all, only leading. Helps readers explore what is essential in their lives by removing the extraneous and frivolous and determining what needs to be pared back in order to better examine the core of existence to help live more simply and more fully. Original.

Kinfolk Issue Twenty: The summer edition of Kinfolk not only draws attention to far-flung locations but also to those who choose to stay local and see their surroundings anew. Pulling from our global community of contributors from Stockholm to Tokyo, we embarked on ventures in more than a dozen cities on four continents. Through exposure to new cultures and foreign contexts, we often return home filled with fresh perspectives that can make the everyday seem exotic, but worldly experiences don’t start and end at the baggage claim—it’s what we do with those memories once we’ve unpacked our suitcases that really makes a difference in the long run.

Issue Twenty-Four The summer issue of Kinfolk examines an essential element of modern life: the relationship. Whether romantic or platonic, new or life-long, hot, cold or ambivalent, each has carefully formed subtleties and undercurrents to unpack. In this issue, we examine the moral complexities behind telling lies, explore the reassurance inherent in non-verbal communication and meet a diverse and inspiring cross-section of lovers, siblings and families, uncovering what it really means to be in a relationship.

Publishing June 6th, 2017

Issue Twenty-Five The fall issue of Kinfolk explores one of life’s simplest pleasures: sharing a meal. The act of eating together––whether at a well-appointed table or in the simple breaking of bread––is an essential element of a well-lived life. As MFK Fisher famously wrote, sharing a meal can be more intimate than sharing a bed. In this issue, we examine the role of food in forming and sustaining relationships, its place in art and political history, and its significance to the arbiters contemporary culture. We visit a breadmaker in her Brooklyn studio, test a curated selection of recipes by a celebrated chef, thumb the pages of Dali’s surrealist cookbook and revisit MFK Fisher’s seminal writing on the joy of simple meals.

Issue Twenty-Nine of Kinfolk is a celebration of print culture. Starting with its material parts—the aesthetic, tactile pleasures of paper and the power of the written word—we look at the various other ways in which printed matter stills from the lost art of handwriting to the secret lives of bookshelves and to the design of passports—the very papers that determine one’s right to freedom. Call Me By Your Name author André Aciman discusses the value—and values—inherent in literature; we meet creative director Frank Durand, who successfully revived the once-defunct Holiday magazine; and we learn the ancient art of calligraphy with Parisian artisan Nicolas Ouchenir. Elsewhere, we meet artist and actress Anh Duong in New York, examine the revolutionary history of self care, interview Iranian photographer Shirin Neshat, Turkish novelist Elif Safak and Ivorian stylist Louis Philippe de Gagoue, philosophize on personal space, aphorisms and pepper, and learn how to sing a lullaby and hold a grudge.

The winter issue of Kinfolk revisits one of our guiding good hospitality. Featuring a special section dedicated to the art of hosting, Issue Thirty looks beyond recipe repertoires and honed housekeeping to unearth the secret ingredients of having a good time. Drilling down into the heart of hospitality, we investigate its five acceptance, comfort, empathy, entertainment and trust. How has the rise in peer-to-peer services such as Airbnb changed our relationship to having strangers in our home? Does a lack of formality translate into a more comfortable environment, or do subtle rules actually make it easier for people to know how to behave? And, how do you get a guest to leave? We receive expert advice on hospitality from leading hoteliers, culinary artists, salon hosts and party planners, and meet wunderkind chef Flynn McGarry—host of New Yorker -reviewed dinner parties since the age of thirteen. Elsewhere, we speak to actress Teyonah Parris—star of the forthcoming James Baldwin adaptation If Beale Street Could Talk—explore seasonal subjects such as hunkering down, hometowns and ghost stories, plus much more.

Issue Thirty-One The spring issue of Kinfolk builds on our foundational interest in design to consider the discipline in its most ambitious architecture. Mid-century architect and furniture designer Charlotte Perriand, whose archives we delve into in this issue, once “The extension of the art of dwelling is the art of living.” We interrogate this close relationship between external surroundings and interior wellbeing and meet the architects chipping away at the partition wall between the two. Buildings affect the mood and behavior of their inhabitants. Equally, the things we build—or wish to build—reflect our own state of mind; blueprints of the ways in which we hope to reinvent the world. This issue of Kinfolk will pay homage to the architects with dreams too big for city planners to swallow—from an investigation into the history of utopian design to a photo essay about the most visionary projects that have been demolished, or simply never-built, over the last century. We also interview those who have bridged the divide and made their strangest whims a like Asif Khan, whose belief in a future where architecture is “light, intelligent and simple” inspired him to build with bubbles. Elsewhere in the issue, we meet Sharon Van Etten, who talks about why she chose to study psychology while writing her new album, and we spend a day in the studio with Kyle Abraham—the choreographer making history at the New York City Ballet. As the weather turns warmer, our thoughts follow; this issue’s essays find our writers lingering on balconies, musing on the impossibility of “turning over a new leaf” and biting down on the juicy history of the peach.

Issue Thirty-Two In Haruki Murakami’s breakthrough novel, Norwegian Wood, the young lovers spend days tramping the streets of 1960s-era Tokyo. The landscape unfurls boundlessly before ‘we kept walking…climbing hills, crossing rivers, and railway lines, just walking and walking with no destination in mind,’ Toru recalls. It’s a romantic vision of a city that, today, can feel impenetrable to the outsider. Building on the unparalleled popularity of our Japan Issue, Kinfolk is spending summer in the Japanese capital for Issue Thirty-Two. Anchored by an extensive city guide of her best places to eat, sleep, shop and read selected by the Kinfolk team, the Tokyo Issue will contain interviews with leading cultural figures, a local fashion editorial and an original essay by Moeko Fuji. Elsewhere, we spend a day with Danish musician Coco O, meet some fashionable cats, and—for summer—explore air-conditioning, showers and suitcases, before setting off to sail the southern Mediterranean sea in our fashion editorial.

We can never shake the back-to-school feeling that September brings. As predictable as the urge to hunker down in winter, then travel in the warmer months, the fall stirs up memories of sharp pencils and blank slates. Rather than dragging our heels reluctantly into the new term, the Education Issue rises to the challenge and How can we keep on learning? From interviews with celebrated academics and alternative practitioners to a fashion editorial set in the most visually inspiring school in Denmark, Issue Thirty-Three of Kinfolk considers how education might be reimagined for a time when cognitive scientists are increasingly insistent that there is no expiry date on our brain’s ability to learn. Also in the issue, we consider what Roland Barthes might have to say about modern dating, interview Desiree Akhavan about making films now she’s no longer a Hollywood outsider, and ask whether hitting “rock bottom” is really a necessary part of starting over. Elsewhere, we break new territory with our first painted fashion shoot and a reported long read on why social media is sustaining, rather than exposing, the scourge of pyramid schemes.

Intimacy is what distinguishes those who are dear to us from those who are simply near. This issue of Kinfolk explores the balance between our contradictory cravings for both secure and stable relationships and the freedom to follow our hearts, our sexual desires, and our need to be whole without the help of another. We take psychotherapist Esther Perel as our lodestar. It’s a role she’s played for the clients at her New York practice and for millions of others through her books and the podcast Where Should We Begin, which offers the chance to listen in on anonymous couples during therapy sessions. Perel’s approach has always been to challenge the fundamental contradictions in how we think about romantic intimacy: Is it really feasible to expect one person to fulfill our every need—for the rest of our life? In Issue Thirty-Four, we experience the thrill of people and places spilling their secrets. Amaryllis Fox—an ex-CIA spy who spent her 20s negotiating in some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones—cracks open the mysteries of the Clandestine Service, and what they’ve taught her about peace. We also present the result of our own months-long international operation: To gain access to an art deco royal palace in Gujurat, India. As the nights close in, our contributors look beyond this world and into other more mysterious ones: They mull over the popularity of horoscopes and what to eat at funerals. Elsewhere, a photo essay by Gustav Almestål explores the solitary indulgence of comfort foods, so tied to our most intimate of spaces—our homes—and so appealing during break ups.

This summer, learn how to put the poetry back in motion with Kinfolk . The Movement Issue explores how rhythms fast and slow keep our lives moving forward, and celebrates the exceptional individuals using movement as a vehicle for physical prowess, self-expression and social cohesion

From cradle to grave, rituals bind communities and mark the transition from one life stage to the next. This winter, Kinfolk finds new routes through old rites and learns how to celebrate life through ceremony.

Individually formative and culturally formidable, youth looms large in the collective imagination. For those who can no longer be considered young, it is often rose-tinted with the memory of rebellion, irresponsibility and the short-lived belief that infinite futures lie just over the horizon. For those who are young today, the reality is a bit more complicated. Issue Thirty-Nine of Kinfolk balances the open-faced optimism of youth with the sobering realities of growing up at a time when it can feel like the world is closing in rather than unfurling before you. Interviews with designer Pierre Yovanovitch, author Nic Stone and Elise By Olsen—formerly the world’s youngest editor in chief.

A decade ago, the very first issue of Kinfolk made its way into print. To celebrate this milestone—our tenth anniversary—we’ve refreshed the design of the magazine and aptly turned our gaze toward one of life’s deepest and most searching the future.
