currant magazine is aimed at documenting the current zeitgeist and
analysing the emotions and shifts that mark our present time
the name currant comes from
current — the tide, the shift, the flow
courant — the journal, the newspaper, the record
currant — grapes and berries, sweet and tart varying at random
"We live in a time where we are continuously being overtaken by issues by
the day, hour or minute. With Currant Magazine, we aim to tell
the stories of our time, in a way that focuses more on the now rather than on future forecasts.
We analyse the emotional shifts of our time and seek to find meaning behind trends, style and aesthetics.
Online and in print, we strive to be immersive and impactful,
and like to challenge the traditional norms of storytelling any way we can."
