Becoming
Tom Lochery // Hermes
1 story every 3 weeks from the beginning of May until the end of July
In this issue, we look at becoming as a contested site of possibility. Jamie Wang turns a tap and pens an ode to the mundane. Fiona Murphy tries to uncover the story of a boy whose childhood ended in an orphanage. Vagelis Kolotsios draws out stories from behind prison walls. Febi Ramadhan follows a friend navigating faith and desire. Finally, Galatea Scotti takes us on a sequence of journeys without end.
