ISSUE 56 - Summer 2025 - The California Issue

Stories from the Golden State

Kinfolk Issue Fifty-Six explores California as both a real place and a mythic ideal. The Golden State has long embodied the art of living well—an effortless, sun-drenched vision where nature meets glamour and innovation shapes everyday life. But beyond the dreamscape, California remains a powerful engine of culture, wellness and technology: a proving ground for human potential.

This issue traces the state’s enduring allure. In Silver Lake, we visit record producer Emile Haynie—known for his work with Adele and Lana Del Rey—as he hosts community dinners in his music studio. Further north, we tour the handcrafted Blunk House, home of artist JB Blunk, whose legacy is rooted in California’s natural landscape and back-to-the-land ideals. Food writer Rebekah Peppler shares a seasonal menu shaped by local ease and ingredients, while 103-year-old Betty Reid Soskin reflects on a century of Californian history through her own remarkable life.

ISSUE 55 - SPRING 2025 - The Spirituality Issue

Whatever you think about religion, it continues to shape our cultures, communities and cities. This issue of Kinfolk takes a look at just some of the ways in which faith undergirds society and touches people’s lives.

Over the course of several months, we documented the construction of a new Lutheran church in Denmark. Mindful of the building’s longevity, the local parish asked some of the nation’s biggest architects and designers to rethink how Christianity might be carried into the future. 

Elsewhere, Christianity’s history comes under scrutiny—we speak to Ekemini Uwan, the public theologian holding the Christian church accountable for its complicity in racial violence over the centuries. We also meet two Jewish duos from opposite sides of the Atlantic: the Kleins, creators of the kosher food and travel magazine Fleishigs, and Sara Moon and Samson Hart, founders of Miknaf Ha’aretz, a community focused on Jewish land justice. 

Elsewhere, we meet Ramy Youssef, the actor, screenwriter and director extraordinaire whose work is giving comedic nuance to the Muslim American narrative. And we interviewed the late surrealist film director David Lynch, who practiced Transcendental Meditation twice a day since 1973. The words by which he lived: “The key to all of it is, Does it make you feel better? Does it change your life?” 

ISSUE 54 - Winter 2024 - The Party Issue

This issue of Kinfolk, which publishes just in time for the holiday season, draws on our origins as a guide for small gatherings and celebrates coming together—whether round a table, at a wedding, for cocktails or during the holidays—as a meaningful pursuit.

Of course, the art of togetherness can be a little more complicated for those hosting. To make the process easier, we’ve approached creative cooks, florists and artists for their expert ideas, tips and advice, creating a 64-page section full of inspiration for your next party. You’ll find ideas for every occasion, from simple recipes for new drinks to serve on a Saturday night to advice on decorating a low-key (and low-cost) wedding.

Elsewhere in the issue, we meet A.G. Cook, the hyperpop music producer who makes a case that even the most overplayed tunes on the radio can be feats of intense creative exploration. In Toronto, Matty Matheson shares insights from his experience as a chef, restauranteur and actor. Plus, we meet a muralist, ask whether millennials have ruined weddings, tour a restored Roman villa, and check in with a curator, a baby name consultant, a comedian and more.
