$15.00

For those who love the art of publication design, enjoy this digital version of our printed Paradiso tabloid.

Welcome to Issue 20. As our eyes adjust to the bright outside lights of the world beyond our borders, we feel inspired to contemplate space. The astronomical possibility of it, the confining nature of it and the way it connects and severs all at once. Space is a way of relating, a commodity, an explanation of distance, time and physicality.

In these pages, we think about mental space, public space, biological space and outer space. We explore the relational spaces that exist between us and discover how cultivating our external spaces impact our internal ones. We traverse to the edges of our solar system and journey deep within our own psyches.

So many muses: Pete Windrim, Lydia Blocksidge, Ngaio Parr, Cai Fox Leplaw, Amber Wallis, Roya A. Azadi. Plus: The Long Way Back to Kotor, a Balkans travel journal, Embracing Kairos, what astrology can teach us and UFO Curious, a look into space.

Our Culture Partner for this issue, Radical Yes, was founded ten years ago to create, design and sell shoes in a way that radically reframed how the Australian shoe industry was operating at the time — small batches of flat shoes to encourage a life lived under the mantras of ‘little and often’ and ‘hasten slowly’. Life and business don’t have to move at a rapid pace. We don’t have to constantly chase productivity. We can enjoy little bursts of productivity or rest as often as we like. It’s the flow of this balance that inspires the Radical Yes line of products. We spoke with three local women who inspire us to live a life full to the brim of both creativity and rest.
