Stop

This issue considers what it might mean to stop. Rather than denote absence, the stop offers an opening for something else to emerge. Across these pages, contributors explore stopping in: forms of rest, blockades, town halls, and critiques of the temporality and archives of empire. From blockades on Wet’suwet’en land to an underground hub in Jakarta, from moccasins cradling lichen to Lebanon’s El-Mina port, each work gathers its own form of interruption. With contributors: Whess Harman, Hung Duong and Grace Samboh, Svetlana Romanova, Fan Wu, Meagan Christou, Mitra Fakhrashrafi, Emma Steen, Charlene K. Lau, Dot Tuer, Joyce Joumaa, Ali El-Darsa, Kay Rangel, Jasmine Sihra.

Subspace creates and presents to me the ways my queer, non-binary, mentally ill desires can exist as outside, as other, as wholly within another place [...] The disobedience of subspace becomes a place through which desire might be considered outside of colonial, extractive, and capitalist designations. Artworks and practices that do the same might also create their own subspace.
Alexa Bunnell, in A Good Animal on Wet Sheets: Disobedient Gasps in Subspace
