Kennedy #14 : Family
Welcome back, Kennedy. There always seems to be a tantilising wait between each issue of the photography-led, Kennedy—and it’s always worth it. For their 14th edition, themed 'Family’, the magazine comes dressed all in white with a sky blue title and tagline, the handwritten-style theme scribbled at the bottom.
A particularly tender issue, the magazine opens with words from editor Chris Kontos paying tribute to his friend Angelo Pandelidis who helped to launch Kennedy. Kontos also talks about his own family (the editor's letter is subtitled 'A Love Letter to my Family') as well as a recent experience of heartbreak:
‘For me life can't be without love. The end of love is a “small death” ... As I write these words, I'm still learning like a patient who's been in a coma for years, to talk, walk and live in ways I didn't think were possible before. And strangely enough, I've never felt more alive.’
Each edition of Kennedy is a beautiful tribute to living life, as well as the people and places that fill it and this one is no different. It's just a little softer around the edges (and we're here for it).

Kennedy Magazine is a biannual journal based in Athens, Greece. Its aim is to explore the views and ideas of certain individuals that have influenced our esthetics and cultural wanderings in one way or another.
Through conversations which encompass these individuals’ specific fields of expertise alongside broader inspirations, ideas and concerns.
Our approach harbors the ethos of DIY more than anything else. Or if you like, the small group of craftsmen versus the overstaffed, bloated corporate set up.
Kennedy also includes a style section focusing on subtlety, craftsmanship and style of substance over fleeting fashions. Subject matter includes photography, music and literature.
It’s a journal about the places and people we love. A collection from words and images that are revisited from time to time when like-minded readers will look for inspiration and a familiar intimate place.
