FORUM Magazine shares Alaskan stories through powerful writing and images.
A selection of spreads from FORUM Magazine Spring 2026 issue (designed by Dean Potter)
Each issue will now feature stories created by AKHF’s Storytelling Fellows. Over their six month Fellowship, each Fellow produces a series of stories based in their own communities, families, and lived experience. You’ll have the opportunity to read these stories, and to dig deep into the shared themes and threads that emerge between Fellows’ stories over the six months they spend together. We plan to publish an issue for every cohort, which means we’ll release one to two issues per year.
FORUM Magazine will have a new look and feel. We have many more stories to share with you! The magazine will be longer and feel more like a small book. Our upcoming issue, for example, will be nearly 100 pages long. You can continue to expect a beautifully designed magazine, created in collaboration with Alaskan graphic designer Dean Potter. We hope it’s something you’ll treasure and want to hold onto!
Going forward, you can receive our updated FORUM Magazine for $20/issue. This fee supports printing and shipping of your issue; it also goes directly to supporting future cohorts of Storytelling Fellows, so we can continue to provide programming for new and emerging Alaskan writers.
Through nearly 100 pages of writing, Fellows explore their relationships with the land and the water. This issue features writing by April Tan'gerpak Hostetter, Desiree Hagen, Emily Maurluviluq Brockman, Ilegvak, Robin McKnight, and Shaelene Grace Moler. You can find an excerpt from the next issue on the following pages.
The Alaska Humanities Forum is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that designs and facilitates experiences to bridge distance and difference – programming that shares and preserves the stories of people and places across our vast state, and explores what it means to be Alaskan.
