DES_Letter #3 — DES_Photomag is going to a gallery for the first time.

“On October 31st, at 3:00 PM, that changes, a little.”

Our Q3 2026 issue launches at Mira Galerias, Porto, on October 31st at 3:00 PM.

A projection of selected images, a talk open to the public, and copies of the magazine available on the night.

Since 2023: 18 publications, over 8,000 submissions curated, a community past 7,500 on Instagram, readers in 62 countries.

Mira Galerias is one of Porto's well-known art galleries — this invitation is real recognition, and a step toward the annual gallery exhibition we've wanted to build since the start.
