YANA #2 — Paper Pages Celebrating Emotional Juggling

About the Magazine

YANA — an acrostic for You Are Not Alone — is a biannual art magazine produced by Gling Studio, a creative house dedicated to whimsical and emotional movement. Founded and edited by Florence Huet, YANA exists to look at juggling through an intimate, personal lens: not as a party trick, but as an art form at the crossroads of movement, rhythm, mathematics, architecture, and poetry. Issue #2 goes deeper, serving more textures and layers — both in paper form and in purpose.

What's Inside

Issue #2 revolves around the themes of landscape and healing. Vast open spaces, inner terrains, and the places juggling takes us, physically and emotionally. A photo documentary follows the full life cycle of three juggling clubs from Collectif Protocole, from birth to death, across six months of performance through France. A hands-on manual walks you through building your own diabolo-camera. Motion and time are put under the microscope in a research piece that maps juggling patterns into hypnotic, geometric forms. Juggling records are examined. Empty hands are given their own space. And Dudo makes his first appearance, the opening episodes of an original comic adventure series debut in these pages.

Alongside essays and features, the magazine weaves in poetry, vellum portraits, photography, and a multimedia layer of QR codes linking to videos, playlists, and more, making YANA as much an art object as a publication.

A Different Kind of Juggling Publication

This issue also opens a harder conversation: editor Florence Schroeder addresses the toxic masculinity that has quietly shaped juggling communities around the world, centering the voices of female jugglers and practitioners from marginalized backgrounds — not as a statement, but as a long-overdue correction. YANA is a place where juggling is not defined — but felt, questioned, and shared.
