Newspaper

The Changing Times was started as a way to develop a body of research and methods for The Office of Virtue. First published in November 2017, twelve newspapers were published in the inaugural year — working with over a hundred artists to circulate more than 6,000 issues throughout the world. Now in the second year of research we will be publishing quarterly beginning in May 2019.

 

The Changing Times is a newspaper connecting communities through the human experience.
