Bodies
Letizia Bonanno
1 story every 3 weeks from early February until the start of May
This issue celebrates bodies; in their imperfect shape and finite nature. Bodies filling space, or struggling to situate themselves within it. Bodies defining times and by time bound. Alejandra Pizarro Choy reclaims the female body’s agency across public and private spaces. Laci Felker re-approaches the body through the changes it experiences in sickness. Marina Srnka portrays bodies rejoining the forbidden outdoors. Jerome Berglund becomes witness to unfortunate daily encounters between bodies and objects. Finally, Daniel Orisaeke awakes to a new body holding on to past sensations.
