What is a face? Both mask and mirror, it reveals as much as it hides. Cara – from the Latin for “face” – is an independent annual magazine, each issue devoted to a different part of it. Bridging social science, fashion, and beauty, it brings together artists, writers, and thinkers to examine how the face shapes our sense of self and the world around us.
