The Bulletin: Legacy, leftovers, and the future of everything [Issue #145]

We love to love what came before us, if that makes sense.

We say this because as we looked over this weekend's edition of the Bulletin, we see a clear divide between legacy and reinvention. It feels like a city trying to figure out what to keep and what to change: OFFF—one of the world’s top design festivals—is landing here for the first time, spotlighting studios that bend motion and branding into something that feels just a little ahead of its time. Meanwhile, Palomosa is making a case for the future of festivals: genreless, gender-fluid, and deeply chaotic (in a good way).

In the news, SSENSE is fighting off a forced sale, ROYALMOUNT is still trying to prove it wasn’t a mistake, and Projet Montréal is… rebranding itself, to say the least. Even our park benches and public art are getting the legacy treatment, while the city’s food scene just keeps cooking up something different: karaoke bánh mì, a new Caribbean bar, and one last run of KojItalian session.
