Launch Foam Magazine #54

Play is one of the founding pillars that allows us to discover the world. To play is to learn how things work, how we behave, interact, and how we can solve problems. It fuels our scientific thirst for experimenting, the enchantment towards the magic of discovery, and the frustration of failure. It is also crucial in informing how we perceive and experience reality, and how we create a new, alternative reality that we might be able to control. Play investigates the powers at play in our society and its subversive, irreverent potential. It looks at its healing powers, the relief that comes from unlocking energy, creativity, and unexpected ghosts.

Foam Magazine is an international photography magazine published three times a year by Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam. The magazine has been awarded several prizes for both its high-grade graphic design and the quality of its content. Most recently, Foam Magazine was awarded Photography Magazine of the Year at the Lucie Awards.

On this Friday, Foam Magazine editors Elisa Medde and Mariama Attah will reveal the content of this multifaceted issue. Come celebrate the new Foam Magazine and have a drink at Athenaeum Boekhandel & Nieuwscentrum!
