HumanisWhy Us
We publish only essays we'd want to read ourselves, checked twice before anything goes live. No AI-written filler, no sponsored opinions dressed up as criticism, just honest thinking about art in a changing world.
Independent, Not Sponsored
We turn down paid placements, so every opinion in Humanis is ours, not a client's.
Named Bylines Always
Every essay carries the writer's real name and a short note on who they are.
Slow Editing, Not Rushed
We'd rather hold a piece an extra day than publish something half-argued.
Scotland-Rooted Perspective
We write from Glasgow, with a clear view of galleries, studios and art schools most outlets overlook.
Open to Reader Pitches
Anyone can suggest a topic, and we reply to every serious pitch within a reasonable time.
Corrections We Actually Make
If we get something wrong, we fix it on the page and say so, no quiet edits.
