Afterall Journal
Issue 55/56
This double issue aims to provide an ‘out of placeness’ by looking beyond Western-centricity to a transnational, pluralist horizon, exploring the new imaginaries created by artists and thinkers from the Global South, from Brazil to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Editors: Elisa Adami, Amanda Carneiro, Nav Haq, Mark Lewis, Adeena Mey, Chloe Ting, and Charles Stankievech.
