Description

The debut issue of Magnum Chronicles focuses on the complexity of American identity and influence in the world today. Exploring internal social and political dynamics alongside pivotal aspects of U.S. foreign policy, this issue unveils exclusive new works and timely perspectives on select themes from the archive such as economics, immigration, climate, healthcare, democracy, and religion.

With curated insights into the United States and its outsized impact, US opens a dialogue on how America’s story intertwines with global movements and conflicts — provoking reflection on the dominant narratives and mythologies of the U.S. around the globe. The section dedicated to perspectives beyond the U.S. presents previously unseen stories from Alessandra Sanguinetti in the West Bank and Paolo Pellegrin in Ukraine.

Behind the Work:

Anchored in Magnum’s commitment to championing the free press, Magnum Chronicles is an annual publication dedicated to covering the important stories of our time.
Each volume spotlights pressing global issues through a combination of new commissions and thoughtfully curated archival material by Magnum photographers. As each edition is assembled by photographers they offer audiences unfiltered, personal insights into events shaping tomorrow’s history. Magnum Chronicles transcends the traditional magazine format as both a collectible and an enduring record of our world.
"With this issue, Chronicles invites you to reflect on America’s role in the world — not as an outsider looking in, but as part of an interconnected narrative. To question the impact of its choices, to reconsider the meaning of its ideals, and to confront the walls — seen and unseen — that define the present."
