The new city guide for the creative community. It's about contemporary culture and people.

“Travelers ordinarily have only the glasses they have
brought with them from their own country to use for
observation and entirely neglect to have their glasses
recut in the country where they are going”.
The father of ethnography - tireless traveler Jan Potocki (1761 - 1815)

NOMAD is a new kind of guide that breaks away from any kind of existing guide books, offering its readers a direct grip on the contemporary face of a city. Definitely on the edge, NOMAD is however much more than address book listing hot boutiques and restaurants. Through comments, interviews, debates driven by striking local and foreign personalities, NOMAD wishes to offer outsiders a sharp view of a city's current developments in all creative fields including art, fashion, design and architecture. Each edition is accompanied by a practical pocket-sized map packed with the best addresses introducing local contemporary culture.

In this age of globalisation and multiculturalism, travel has become commonplace though cultural distance still persists, aspiring to look beyond the mere exotic side of other cultures and to celebrate the differences. In promoting local contemporary culture, NOMAD wishes to foster mutual understanding among individuals from different nationalities and backgrounds and to provide an opportunity for creative exchanges.

tokyo
Japan: rarely has a country aroused so many clichés and contradictory feelings. The pole of attraction of a new world oscillating between energy and inertia, tradition and modernity, Japan hardly ever leaves people indifferent. The land of the rising sun is today probably the world's greatest source of inspiration in contemporary artistic fields. NOMAD Tokyo above all wishes to stimulate curiosity and open up windows of understanding onto the new aesthetic codes offered by Japan. (more...)
