The Edit

The Edit is an active retelling of the built environment—one of our most ambitious and bold publications to date in its physical format, contributions, and editorial agenda. This issue is about revisiting the archives and drafting new records. What truths and tools can we use to understand and overcome the monolithic, heteronormative, Eurocentric coding that structure our lives? Through words, drawings, posters, and booklets, this issue explore the conditions of possibility that await us when we encounter, resist, reimagine, and rewrite the script.

The collection of pieces touch on soil as a record-keeper, sci-fi dystopias, embroidering queer visibility, social design for an aging population, and more. A workbook invites readers to identify absences in our collective records, while a loose elastic binding offers a tactile nod to the editorial process, encouraging the reader to dismantle, rearrange and annotate the work.
