Fixed moments in time⁠—like the solar eclipse that will cross North America this April⁠—are powerful reminders of our shared experience, returning cyclically in ways that connect us across time and space. On our cover this spring, photographer Amanda Pratt returns to a house designed and built by her architect grandfather to shoot models Julia Kuzka and Maya in a fashion editorial that speaks to both past and present. Artist Dani Gal collects gems of historic vinyl that bring history to life; anthropologist Wade Davis interweaves history, land, culture, and climate to put the present under a magnifying glass; and a cohort of young designers draw on the past to reinvent the homes of the future. We hope you’ll pick up a copy.

Maple Ridge ska-band Los Furios found enthusiastic if unexpected audiences for their music, from Mexican punks to Japanese exchange students. This weekend, they’re bringing it home to Vancouver with a show at the Rickshaw.
