We Had Faces

This project is believed to be defunct. (June 2026)

About

We Had Faces is a dedicated space to be absorbed in small moments, minute details, and the feeling of actually being somewhere.
We like noticing things. Small stuff. How a peanut butter cup tastes different. The clinking sound of the bar being stocked for a wedding. Who was last to leave a film premiere. The smell of flowering lilies in the lobby.
We publish stories and art from people with a profound affection for the seemingly ordinary. People finding the charm in everyday life, or interstitial moments, or even the details of remarkable ones. We’re on a relentless quest to rescue our attentions and imaginations. To turn over every stone.
With that attentiveness, we hope to raise questions about accepted rules, the way things are supposedly done, and about how we, as individuals, might change them. We observe, we ask a lot of questions, we stay for the whole party. We'll read to the end.
