Meet Bureau

Every issue of Bureau begins with a theme, but what follows is more than exploration; it’s a conversation across disciplines. We trace how creativity moves and reshapes culture, revealing connections between ideas that might seem worlds apart at first glance: a chef echoing a choreographer, a designer sparking off a writer, a song resonating with an image.

Bureau is for the curious and the restless, the ones who see creativity as a necessary force. Throughout Bureau, you’ll find unexpected connections, fresh ways of seeing, and maybe even a glimpse of yourself reflected in the stories we tell. We are just as curious and restless as you are.

Objects

For our first issue, we explore the idea of objects. Our tools, our cherished pieces, the things we need to create or simply can’t live without. Some objects hold stories, some hold rituals, and others are meant to go wherever we go. Here, a small collection of stories about the creative life told through the things we touch, use, create, and love.

The Collector: Yolonda Ross

A vibrant, multi-hyphenate creative with an artistic practice of her own, Yolonda Ross is curating a collection of Black artists that speaks to an ongoing and essential dialogue about identity.

Ross recently sat down with us to talk about her growing archive and the connective tissue between visual art, identity, and storytelling. Read her interview here.

Gallery: Katrin Schnabl

Katrin Schnabl's artistic practice blends dance, fashion, performance, and installation art, challenging the divisions between these disciplines. Her work explores how we experience space, whether through the subtle expansion a garment offers or the narrative of a performative event.

Schnabl's process is a dynamic interplay of intuition and technical skill, resulting in "proto structures" that evolve organically into unique expressions, whether as wearable art or compelling installations. Read the feature here.
