Every journey begins in the FOYER

We are an independent, annual print magazine exploring culture and identity from the point of view of people from diaspora communities, namely those of second-generation migrants and mixed-heritage backgrounds, and third-culture individuals. We are at the forefront of stimulating and opening up dialogues about these diaspora communities and uncovering their uncharted stories and experiences. 

FOYER seeks to create a tangible, centred representation and documentation of these valuable connections, voices and shared cultural experiences, and to build an evolving archive of knowledge highlighting the important, and sometimes invisible, cultural threads that connect us all.

FOYER is the beginning.

Open for pitches for Issue 04: Food

Open for pitches for Issue 04: Food

FOYER is looking for a handful of stories to accompany commissioned pieces for Issue 04: Food, launching in Spring 2025. The focus is on stories exploring culture and identity through food. We are particularly interested in hearing stories from, or about, diaspora communities, namely those from second-generation, mixed-heritage and third-culture kid backgrounds.

Deadline for pitches is 22 November and we will aim to notify everyone within one week’s time of that date. Final drafts are due by 31 December 2024.

Our pages

Like its namesake, FOYER is a place to meet and pause, a hallway leading to new places, but it can also mean a social club or home. As a tribute to all the different places a FOYER can lead, contributors are invited to react to an annual theme, presenting this through words or artwork, and how this relates to their diaspora or Third-culture experiences. 

Through our pages, you can explore and be at the forefront of different and contemporary ways of thinking about culture and identity and its meaning and place in today's world.

  • “The articles inside Foyer provide an insight into what cultural identity means for everyday people, how culture is found and honed to become meaningful for each person, creating our own categories or ways of understanding”

Culture Stew by FOYER Podcast

Each episode is a guide to culture and identity through food, specifically stews, from creative and entrepreneurial individuals from diaspora communities and TCK backgrounds. Stews not only exist in various guises, names and forms but are also a wonderful metaphor for the different cultural fusions that make up who we are.
