(Cult)u're Magazine is a Canadian webzine that launched on September 1, 2007. It's primary content focus is on Artistic, Political, and Cultural issues. It's market appeal addresses post-secondary students and urban professionals who follow Television, Film, Theatre, Music, Food, Literature, and/or Political trends in a "cult-like" fashion. The magazine is organized along thematic lines, with all articles in a particular issue responding to a common prompt.

Contributors

(Cult)ure was initiated by An Nguyen with the help of Kevin Johns, Kim Burnett and Brendan Blom in September 2007. Based in Ottawa, Ontario (Canada), the magazine strives to bring readers thoughtful analysis of the latest trends in popular and alternative culture.

The magazine is a space for people to shape and define themselves through their interests and through the many cults they belong to. Under this roof, progressive journalists, writers, activists and artists voluntarily share their ideas in a forum that represents their devotion and passion for covering local or international events and issues.

What makes (Cult)ure unique is its ability to unite a community of volunteers together in order to give a response to the harshness of our competitive society, and the overpowering wave of information bombarding us on a daily basis. Given the fragility of societal bonds, (Cult)ure is a stabilizing spectacle that challenges and finds humor in hierarchy, trends, and ritualized assumptions. In this newly defined space, contributors and readers are offered a reprieve from the soul-battering world, and are given creative license to organize their opinions in a meaningful way.

(Cult)ure magazine is a community where the creative spirit is celebrated -- a space where the readers become a devout audience who have an in-depth knowledge about their particular cults. Come for the insightful articles, and stay for the community that encourages interactive dialogue.
