Kinfolk Volume 55

Whatever you think about religion, it continues to shape our cultures, communities and cities. This issue of Kinfolk takes a look at just some of the ways in which faith undergirds society and touches people's lives. Over the course of several months, we documented the construction of a new Lutheran church in Denmark. Mindful of the building's longevity, the local parish asked some of the nation's biggest architects and designers to rethink how Christianity might be carried into the future. Elsewhere, Christianity's history comes under scrutiny - we speak to Ekemini Uwan, the public theologian holding the Christian church accountable for its complicity in racial violence over the centuries. We also meet two Jewish duos from opposite sides of the Atlantic: the Kleins, creators of the kosher food and travel magazine Fleishigs, and Sara Moon and Samson Hart, founders of Miknaf Ha'aretz, a community focused on Jewish land justice. Elsewhere, we meet Ramy Youssef, the actor, screenwriter and director extraordinaire whose work is giving comedic nuance to the Muslim American narrative. And we interviewed the late surrealist film director David Lynch, who practiced Transcendental Meditation twice a day since 1973. The words by which he lived: 'The key to all of it is, Does it make you feel better? Does it change your life?' Since 2011, Kinfolk has established itself as a leader in art and culture, design and aesthetics, architecture, and homes and interiors. Our quarterly lifestyle magazine is sold in over 100 countries, published in three languages and makes the perfect coffee table magazine or gift for a creative. Featuring inspiring photography, fashion and style, as well as examinations of slow living, Kinfolk is an art and design publication that seeks to promote quality of life and connect a community of creative thinkers.
