Chorus

C’s Chorus issue marks the beginning of our new print look, shaped by Hwa-Jin Jun, where we also ask what becomes possible if we embrace changing physical formats and materials as an ethos. We think of chorus as a collective noun: for voices, noises, expressions (of rage, solidarity, and otherwise). This issue embraces polyphony, or simultaneity, a chorus that does not dissolve distinction within the collective. From voice as infrastructure, a way of rehearsing coordination and collective power amidst spreading fascist logics, to the dispersal of seeds, anti-colonial cosmologies, melancholic sound in the colour blue, attuning to ancestors in museum collections, and the subtle accumulations in working-class time, we bring a cacophony of grievance and desire.

“Shalaka Jadhav (to Yasmeen Nematt Alla): You asked a great question during our studio visit: “How do the dualities in 7anajer— oil and vinegar, life and death, holding and releasing—reflect the tension between routine as stagnation versus as liberation?” Perhaps we’ve fallen out of this routine our bodies crave, of shared voice: singing together, rallying together. ”
— Shalaka Jadhav, and Yasmeen Nematt Alla in To Enshrine an Ululation
