For its 20th issue—and tenth anniversary—Cactus Magazine reimagines the print as a loose-leaf collection, featuring 29 artists at the intersection of contemporary art, fashion, and CGI. Faithful to its image-led ethos, this edition positions the visual as the pulse of a synesthetic discourse, where the archive becomes a springboard for new legacies.
