Spring 2026 Issue:
“Cotidiano”
Cotidiano is a Spanish word for the everyday, the habitual. Too often, this ordinary and necessary part of life is left unexamined. Whether it is the normalcy you see in your own life or the world outside, this spring, BRIO challenges you to break this tendency and find your expression of the common, yet commonly overlooked. Read our Spring 2026 issue online, and experience the audiovisual works featured exclusively on our website.
