Playground Magazine Issue 4 brings together over 70 creatives – strategists, artists, designers, and writers – to map the current state of creativity across Europe and beyond. Across essays, data, and dialogue, Issue 4 reflects on the invisible economy that powers creativity, asking what it takes to keep it fair, connected, and alive, and how experimentation and play move things forward.
Playground Magazine Issue 3 explores the creative industries through the lens of freedom, bringing together over 40 creatives and contributors to collaborate on a topic that extends far beyond the creative world. As more creatives choose to work independently and break free from rigid structures, it’s clear there’s a drive to escape rules, hierarchies, mistrust, and dishonesty. It felt like a conversation that needed more airtime.
Playground Magazine Issue 2 is here and delves into childhood, memories, and nostalgia, exploring how they shape our thoughts and creations. It’s a beloved topic that many writers, illustrators, and interviewees have opened up about, sharing their musings and recollections. At its core, this issue is also about people finding their playgrounds and elements of play – sometimes needing to slow down, sometimes needing to play more, or to play by different rules.
