'MacGuffin' is a biannual design & crafts magazine featuring stories about the life of ordinary things. Each edition of the magazine takes an object and explores the manifold stories it generates and uncovers the personal and sometimes curious relationships we have with the stuff that surrounds us. The stitch is a modest gesture with an expansive reach. It connects and repairs, unravels and reveals, speaks where words fall short. From textiles to technology, scars to seams, books to buildings, and leather to language: MacGuffin Magazine No 15 dives headfirst into the wild and wonderful world of stitching. Marking ten years of MacGuffin, this anniversary edition threads together unexpected stories and surprising perspectives, exploring how stitches shape, bind and define the things we make and the lives we lead. Featuring contributions from voices across disciplines and cultures, including Tanveer Ahmed, Line Arngaard, Kader Attia, Simona Bortis-Schultz, Rachel Dedman, Olivia Douglass, Jessica Hemmings, Chris Kabel, Ilona Keserü, Emily King, Masaki Komoto, Wietske Maas, Maria McLintock, Rosa Menkman, Johannes Reponen, Scheltens & Abbenes, Nina van de Ven, Hanka van der Voet – and many more.
