​1 story every 3 weeks from end-July until late October

In this issue there is no conclusion to be drawn. No lesson to be learnt. Just fragments. Traces. Half-dreamt sketches of being and becoming. Samir Harb grows seeds, lines and peace of mind, cultivating freedom in a pot of Palestinian soil. Oana Lohan takes stock of memory and objects, dragging us through the sweet traps of nostalgia. Jacek Wajszczak’s wandering lines carry us into the slow, irreversible becoming of a city, where an uncanny encounter between a donkey and Le Corbusier occurs. Alba Gutiérrez González, through bright colours and soft shapes, takes us on a visual journey to Mexico, asking us to reckon with the atrocity of humanity. Laura Mafizzoli, through the hypnotic curves of Georgian calligraphy, opens a Pandora’s box of contested memory: what happens when the memories of the past contradict what we were taught about it?

editor’s note by Letizia Bonanno

These plants reminded me of my connection to the land - a way of knowing that lives in practice, in care, in a language far more honest than the one spoken in the world of German academia

The cover image is by Letizia Bonanno. It is a visual citation of the cover of Un Regard Moderne, a French magazine that, back in the 1960s, started publishing comics at a time when most art magazines dismissed them as lowbrow entertainment. Letizia photographed it at a BD exhibition at the Centre Pompidou. The upper register depicts Paul Cézanne, the father of modern art. The cat is Letizia's cat, Sante GC.
