Port #37

Port Issue 37 celebrates discovery across story, memory, art, travel, and technology.

Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch, Ethan Hawke, LaKeith Stanfield, Jodie Turner-Smith, Richard E. Grant, and Kate Winslet, the issue pairs intimate cover conversations with writers Max Porter, Gus Casely-Hayford, Francesca Gavin, Simran Hans, and more, plus original work from Sheila Heti and Kieran Yates.

Portfolio dispatches span Malaysia, Mexico, Palestine, Japan, France, and Africa, each anchored by objects or spaces that evoke presence and place. Elsewhere, Samuel Ross traces identity across the UK and West Africa; EAT’s 1960s vision is revisited through Francesca Gavin’s interview; Liz Johnson Artur presents three decades of African diaspora work in her new book. Port Horizons explores creative restoration in Savannah, SCAD; design features include Max Lamb for Potato Head, Shiro Kuramata’s enduring interiors, and Alison Brooks on navigating a male-dominated field. 

Literary sections reveal the poetic in everyday life, from gyms to quiet reflection, weaving a richly layered portrait of contemporary culture.
