In 2021, Curve magazine became a not-for-profit project of The Curve Foundation. Curve relaunched digitally with an iconic new look that embodies the rich history and exciting legacy of our community’s stories. Going forward, Curve will draw a throughline between what was happening from the time it launched in the 1990s to what’s happening today for the Curve Community. Curve will fill a critical niche by providing a way to understand our history – a portal into the hard-won lessons from our past that can inform our actions into the future. Curve will bring the archive to life and making it accessible in service of preserving and communicating the history of our movement to empower today’s leaders.

Visit our searchable living archive, a remarkable storehouse of our culture and advancements since 1991. Relive our many milestones and achievements, or if you are new to our community, catch up on the last 30 years of ‘herstory.’ The Curve Archive is a developing project that preserves our collective history as published in back issues of Deneuve and Curve magazines for past generations and those to come.
