Issue 16Age of Aquarius
Following the launch of the Acne Paper Book in June 2021, Acne Paper is returning with its newest issue themed the Age of Aquarius. A hybrid between a book and a magazine, the new Acne Paper has been reimagined with a new format and bold design direction: expanding to 500 pages, a revised size format and a cover that unfolds into a poster; in keeping with its legacy as a collector’s item.
From Indonesia to Bangladesh, Colombia to China, India to Mexico, the United States to Europe – from outer space to the deep blue sea, from our ancient ancestors to thinkers of tomorrow, all of this and more is featured in this issue of Acne Paper dedicated to the new astrological age we are entering: the Age of Aquarius.
