Enough
In a moment of now. Where we are caught between feeling ourselves to be sufficient even without the promise of a future and paralyzed by the overwhelm the world lays upon us day after day. In this moment between I am enough! and I've had enough!, we invite you to join us in expressing what needs saying—about:
pandemic
climate cascade
moral panic (again)
nuclear threat (again)
collapsing futures
war (again, again)
We imagine this issue to be a time capsule of sorts, a trace of this present instant, a scar.
In a world that might end tomorrow (or not), that has been upended (for some), that rushes toward a return to a normality that never was (for most), we call on you to share how it feels to exist in this current moment of quandary and shifts.
We seek writing of any type reflecting experience and photo essays offering glimpses into what matters. We seek sounds that resonate and visual art or prose that erupt from this moment of our lives of unrepeatable charged menace, promise, and paralysis.
