Kinfolk Magazine Issue 56 (the California Issue) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. Kinfolk Issue 56 explores California as both a real place and a mythic ideal. The Golden State has long embodied the art of living well—an effortless, sun-drenched vision where nature meets glamour and innovation shapes everyday life. But beyond the dreamscape, California remains a powerful engine of culture, wellness and technology: a proving ground for human potential.
Inside, we talk with the prolific film director Wim Wenders ahead of his 80th birthday. As the world looks back at a half century of his films, documentaries, photographs and writing, Wenders explains how he’s still working, still writing and very much still dreaming of the future. We also check in with roaming gallerist Mariane Ibrahim, musicians Georgia Anne Muldrow and Oklou, writer Sheila Heti and designers Tatjana Von Stein and Industrial Facility. Plus, our writers examine what makes a life well-lived through questions such as: Does laziness really exist? How should we handle incompetent people? And what’s the best way to roll down a hill?
Kinfolk is a slow lifestyle magazine published by Ouur that explores ways for readers to simplify their lives, cultivate community and spend more time with their friends and family.

Kinfolk is the marriage of our appreciation for art and design and our love for spending time with family and friends.
