The Changing Times is a newspaper connecting communities through the human experience.

We started The Changing Times as a way to develop a body of research and methods for The Office of Virtue. Starting in November 2017, we published twelve issues in the inaugural year — working with over a hundred artists to circulate more than 6,000 issues throughout the world. Now in our second year, we will publish quarterly beginning in May 2019.
