Issue 12

So much has changed, is changing, in so short a time!

The forward march of economic and market forces has ground to a halt. Social interaction has become reconfigured, subject to state regulation, surveillance and intervention. We are finding ways to live and love within and according to this changing landscape. Wherever we find ourselves, we are reminded of the vulnerability of our bodies, our attention drawn to the precarity of life.

Issue 12, rather than being thematic, unfolded according to a more flexible format, taking shape over several incarnations. Issue #12 was staged across several ‘volumes’, articulated over time and drawn together under the title, WHAT NOW?
