Sal:mender

is a philosophical exhibition-based magazine dedicated to global diasporic stories. Inspired by the salamander, a mythological creature thought to live in fire, the name reflects our mission to nourish creativity and extinguish harm, echoing the Latin motto “Nutrisco et extinguo,” meaning “I nourish and extinguish.” We explore art as a medium for philosophical inquiry, examining questions of identity, belonging, memory, and the human condition. Sal:mender is a space where artists, thinkers, and audiences come together to reflect, question, and engage, making exhibitions more intimate, accessible, and participatory, a space for children of diverse diasporas to see themselves and converse about the ideas that shape their lives.
















Each

issue functions as an exhibition guided by a central research question, bringing together a multicultural community. Through these explorations, we preserve personal and collective memory while encouraging dialogue between artworks, and audience. At its core, Sal:mender is a platform for inquiry and reflection, believing that storytelling, art, and philosophy can mend the soul, and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
