In Betweenis a bilingual magazine exploring the creative journeys and inner worlds of a new generation artists, designers, and cultural practitioners. Through in-depth conversations and written reflections, we seek to document how they perceive, express, and navigate through multiple realities.

The name In Between originates from our sensitivity to a particular condition shared by many creators today - one that resists fixed identities, final forms, or binary definitions. Initially, we described this as an ‘in-between state’, a term inspired by phenomenological thinking and used to describe a condition of becoming, transition, and ambiguity.

While this idea still informs our perspective, In Betweenis not limited to that concept alone. Rather, it serves as an open space to engage with those who move along the edges - between painting and film, belief and commerce, urban environments and intimate rituals.

What we truly care about is the creator’s attentiveness and honesty - how they confront uncertainty, how they negotiate tension, and how they speak in a voice that may be small, but resonant. In Between doesn’t offer final answers. It records fragments, hesitations, intuitions - and through them, a different kind of clarity.
