“I love the idea of creating a publication that can sit on a coffee table for ten years. That can be handed to a friend. Left in a studio. Put in a community library. Discovered by a kid in a town where nobody around them does the kind of work they dream about doing.” – Sheharazad Fleming, Editor in Chief  

If you want to spend the day listening in on conversations between brilliant people, daring artists, and changemakers of all kinds, pick up a copy of The Great Discontent (TGD). Founded in 2011 as a digital magazine, TGD soon evolved into a printed object in 2014 as their audience and impact grew. The conversations housed within the bordered columns of these pages urge us to sit within our discontentment and invite others to do the same, forging the way forward together.  

The covers of The Great Discontent beckon you with a gold, foil stamped title in a heavy, bold sans-serif which bursts in the light. Its 80lb stipple textured covers have multiple image variants featuring the people whose voices are at the heart of an issue. At 9x12 and 176 pages, this book deserves an armchair and an afternoon to truly soak in the insight from its pages.
