Connection
In today's AI-powered, always-on social media world, connecting with others, communities, our past, or even just the here and now feels more important than ever. But what does "connection" really mean when we're constantly glued to our screens? In this issue of 3, we explore this idea by featuring people, places, and concepts that build connections through the lens of craft, tradition, and culture. Among this issue’s highlights: An interview with master connector, comedian and filmmaker Lilly Singh; a showcase of third-culture designers and artists, highlighting layers of tradition, storytelling and craftsmanship; and a feature on creators NorBlack/NorWhite, who are redefining athleisure by merging traditional Indian textiles with a streetwear sensibility.
