MacGuffin is a biannual magazine dedicated to ordinary objects with extraordinary histories. Each issue picks one object to explore through science, art, literature and culture.
What grabbed us about this issue...
MacGuffin’s 14th issue looks at walls and the stories they tell, from the ones built to keep people apart to those covered in messages meant to be seen. We kept coming back to a feature on memorial murals in Jamaica, where walls become a way for communities to remember and celebrate the people they’ve lost. If you’re curious about how the idea of a wall stretches beyond bricks and mortar, you might enjoy the look at digital paywalls. There’s also a piece on the ever-taller glass facades of modern office blocks that’s worth a look if you’re into architecture.
Who is MacGuffin for?
For curious minded people interested in a range of topics from the creative to the scientific, MacGuffinis a well rounded magazine. Each issue focuses on a specific theme and uses long features as well as visual elements to explore it. There's a mixture of literature, history, philosophy and design, all of which that will give you great topics of conversation for your next dinner party. It's the magazine that you read to gain some niche but interesting knowledge and to spark your own imaginative and deep thoughts.
Type: long-form, reflective read.
