C Magazine

C Magazine (est. 1983) is a contemporary art and criticism periodical that functions as a forum for significant ideas in art and contexts. Each issue explores a theme that is singularly engaged with emerging and prevailing perspectives through original art writing, criticism and artists' projects.

Based in Toronto, our content focuses on the activities of contemporary art practitioners residing in Canada and Canadian practitioners living abroad - with an emphasis on those from Black, Indigenous, diasporic and other equity-seeking communities - as well as on international practices and dialogues. We are committed to facilitating meaningful, pluralistic, interdisciplinary, historically-engaged and imaginative conversations about art.

In C Magazine’s 40th year of publication, the writing and visual projects in this issue form an almanac in themselves, out of the impulse to make meaning out of the present state of contemporary art and liberatory organizing. As contributors find grounding in celestial time, ancestors, the stakes of censorship, the choreography of movement building, AI incantations, and more, we express almanacs as projects of persistence between past, present, and future—and even of spell-casting.
