Terra Incognita takes shape as a coffee table book composed of three screen-printed craft-cardboard covers, bound together with a custom dual metal coil system that holds a photo book on one side and corresponding stories on the other. Filled with 112 high-quality riso and gloss printed 260mm x 185mm pages, it features a rich collection of articles, photography, poems, and interviews, and includes illustrations by artist-tattooist Mika Schneck. With contributions from creatives around the world, the issue invites interactive reflection through unique participatory sections. The phrase “terra incognita,” first used by the Egyptian scholar Ptolemy to mark uncharted regions on ancient maps, symbolizes the awareness of knowledge’s limits — an admission of the unknown. In Issue 04, we pay homage to that idea as a ferocious act of mysticism, celebrating pockets of culture and self that resist definition. Featuring creators’ fearless explorations of sound, sport, craft, and community, Terra Incognita challenges you to immerse yourself completely. These pages, designed to be paired, flipped, or read apart, leave room for your own narratives — threaded together by your hand, as souvenirs of the unseen.
