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. 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.︎︎
