In the latest edition, we're exploring the timeless bond between drawing and the natural world. This issue brings together artists from six continents who capture nature from different perspectives. You'll find conversations on queer ecology, stories of pioneering female botanists, and reflections on how drawing can deepen our connection to the environment.
We also share personal memories tied to nature and discuss the urgent need to preserve our planet's diverse ecosystems. From the forests of the Amazon to prairies and landscapes shaped by wind and fire, this issue invites you to reconnect with the beauty and significance of the world around us.
Founded in Norway by the artist Bjørn Hegardt, FUKT, which translates to “moist” or “damp” in Scandinavian languages, the magazine is now based in Berlin and Oslo. Each issue comes with a unique cover by Ariane Spanier who also co-edits and designs the magazine. From issue 16 onwards, the FUKT team began organising each edition thematically: from The Sex Issue on Dirty Drawings, The Words Issue to Fukt The System Issue and The Faces Issue.
FUKT has won multiple awards including Art Director's Club Germany 2021, The ADC Annual Awards 2021 - Silver Cube for publication design, D&AD Graphite Pencil 2020, D&AD Wood Pencil 2019 and was awarded cover of the year at Stack Awards in 2019. It has previously been featured on It’s Nice That, magCulture, Stack Magazines and more.
