Cara Magazine: Independent Annual Review of Art and Social Science

Cara Magazine is an independent annual magazine based in Paris that explores the human face through a multi-disciplinary lens. The name Cara, derived from the Latin for 'face,' reflects the publication's core focus: investigating the face as both a mask and a mirror. Each issue of Cara Magazine is mono-thematic, dedicating its pages to a single part of the face to examine how it shapes our sense of self and the world around us. For example, the third issue explores 'The Mouth' from various dimensions, including language, music, nourishment, and erotic charge. By bridging the gap between social sciences, beauty, and fashion, Cara Magazine creates a dialogue between those who define beauty standards and those who analyze them. The publication features contributions from a wide range of experts, including philosophers, dentists, speech therapists, journalists, and visual artists. Under the editorial and creative direction of Hadrien Dupin, the magazine maintains a bilingual format in French and English. It is celebrated for its high-quality iconography and intellectual depth, offering readers a visual and conceptual journey through human identity. Cara Magazine is distributed internationally, appearing in specialized bookstores and galleries across Europe, Asia, and North America. It stands as a unique cultural project that utilizes art, photography, and critical writing to provide an exhaustive look at the human countenance from every angle.
