DIGITAL ISSUE 1How do we work together? What are we working towards?
We're publishing short-form and long-form essays, interviews, and features (among other formats) that look at the nuances of duration, provocation, and commitment within these collective dynamics.
Think with us on…
- Collective Work: Musicians and DJs “fund-raving” for mutual aid. Artists who lead not-for-profit ventures, collectives, cooperatives. Collaborative endeavors like garden trusts, co-housing experiments, labor unions, or community land trusts. How do interpersonal relationships and practices (between co-owners, co-organizers, community members, etc.) reflect or impact work?
- Radical Pedagogies: Over the past ten years, unconventional, collectively-driven learning spaces have emerged. Educators are experimenting with new methodologies and technologies, pushing boundaries, and reimagining the future of teaching and learning outside of institutions.
- Design & Responsibility: Architectural and design practices grapple with the imperative to dismantle systems of commodification and envision alternative futures rooted in equity and sustainability. Shed a light on overlooked contemporary and historical figures while reevaluating the legacies of the field. Think: June Jordan, the urban planner.
- Connection Capital: Nepotism. the dynamics of power and privilege to the ethical dilemmas of commodifying human connections
