About

It has always been a radical act to share stories during dark times. They are regenerative spaces of creation and renewal. As we experience the desecration of our lands and waters, the extinguishing of species, and a loss of sacred connection to the earth, we look to emerging stories. In them we find the timeless connections between ecology, culture, and spirituality.
Launched in 2018, Emergence Magazine is an award-winning magazine and creative production studio that explores the threads connecting ecology, culture, and spirituality. Our work gathers voices—both human and more-than-human—with the potential to shift ways of thinking and being in relationship to the living world. Widening the frame of what a magazine can be, we offer storytelling and art across traditional and emerging mediums, from the dynamic and digital to the physical and intimate. Bearing witness to the change, loss, and possibility of our time, Emergence Magazine illuminates the ways in which humans are continuous with—and wholly dependent on—the living Earth.
Our work has received numerous recognitions, including Webby awards and nominations, National Magazine Award nominations, Peabody and Emmy nominations, and Gold and Bronze medals from the European Design Awards. Our films and immersive work have been presented at film festivals, including New York Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, SXSW, IDFA, Melbourne Intl Film Festival, Hot Docs, and Sheffield Documentary Film Festival, among others, and our work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian and the Barbican Arts Center.
Contributors include Sundance- and Emmy-winning filmmakers, MacArthur Genius Award winners, Pulitzer Prize winners and finalists, Booker Prize winners, poet laureates, Ted Prize winners, and acclaimed international writers, filmmakers, artists, and photographers.
Emergence Magazine is an editorially independent initiative of Kalliopeia Foundation.
