About
Culture doesn't stay put. Neither do we.
Culturemotif is a publication about how culture moves: which cities are becoming connectors, which scenes are gaining gravity, and who is doing the connecting on the ground.
Our reports are built on original cultural intelligence research into global creative flows, then told through the people and places that make the numbers real. Black and white photography, one pop of colour: the motif is the point. Culture is what stands out when everything else looks the same.
Who we are
A father and son at the forefront of culture.
Culturemotif is two of us: one building the intelligence, one keeping it human. Every report is an argument we had first.
Jon.
Co-founder
LinkedInThe long view. Jon reads cities the way other people read headlines, and keeps every story honest about what actually lasts.
Izzy.
Co-founder
isaacakwue.comThe data spine. Izzy builds the research that tracks how culture travels, then picks the cities where the numbers say something is happening.
