Garland is a platform for stories about what we make across the wider world. Each issue of the magazine reaches more than 50,000 readers. So far, we’ve published 1722 articles by 853 writers from 78 countries.

The Street is the first issue of the Together Spaces series that features the role of makers in creating spaces where we come together. We need this more than ever as we retreat into our private bubbles.
According to editor Kevin Murray, “Work made for the street—for the public eye—can help reactivate our urban commons. In this issue, we share stories that demonstrate the creative capacity of the street.”

The March issue heralds the Street-Makers, including the muralists, street artists, mosaicists, banner makers, jewellers and idol-makers who help us feel at home in the world.
