What does the present obscure about our relationship with knowledge? How does our past shape what we know? The issue probes the tension of living through history while being aware of its partiality. It links the unseen to the human experience, delving into what has been pushed out of sight due to its confrontative or revealing nature.
Issue #1 highlights intellectual and material resistance, offering a rich tapestry of experiences that questions the limits of traditional publishing. Unsettling rather than comforting, opaque but inviting deeper connection, it asks us to reimagine our present bonds. The contributors counter systemic censorship, appropriation, and repression—the currencies of today’s political landscape—and shine a light on the revolutionary potential of visual culture, hacking, community, social science fiction, somatic trauma healing, and forensic investigation, showing how methods and practices as such can transcend resistance, becoming a sociogenic force.
