Eros and Logs
The latest Blending Magazine issue has been released, inspired by theme of Eros and Logos, between desire and reason. In this issue we take you through the history of garments in the Jewish culture and faith, hopes and dreams encountered one last night in Florence, why the humanities are still important in this day and age, and how much can learn from the humble label of wine bottle. We are incredibly proud of the work produced by this season’s students and faculty, a true testament to the power of creativity in the midst of challenging times.

The Possible City
The latest issue of Blending Magazine is inspired by the Spring 2021 final student exhibit theme, The Possible City. Our writers explored Florence by seeking new communities, observing the changes of the city, and looking for possible visions of the city’s future. Examples include how artists are re-thinking exhibit spaces, how Florentine startups aim to create more secure and sustainable communities, and how the future of travel and tourism will shape the city of Florence. We hope this issue will open new possibilities for our readers as much as it did for our students
