ISSUE ONE contains thoughts and insights from the first eight weeks of lockdown in the form of work.

The recently published ISSUE TWO, features thoughts on resistance to exaggerated online culture by means of future past perfect time-travel, in the wake of the first waves of the pandemic.
Join us for the long-delayed and long-awaited face to face launch, with readings by Lynne Sachs, Cathy Crane, plus films and film fragments by: 

Peggy Ahwesh
Jaakko Pallasvuo
eteam
