Issue 126, on art world and countercultural predecessors, includes writing by Zoe Todd, about Indigenous law in the work of legal scholar Val Napoleon and filmmaker Loretta Todd; Maiko Tanaka on feminist citation; Liz Park on neglected histories in the video installations of Cornelia Wyngaarden; and in a special section, Corrine Fitzpatrick, Vera Frenkel, Jacob Korczysnki, Chris Kraus and others write about teachers, friends, mentors and Weird Elders who have influenced their lives and work. Jesse McKee also looks at countercultural positioning in the video and sound art of Adrian Piper, Newsreel Collective and Up Against the Wall Motherfucker.

For the artist project, Danielle St-Amour and Xenia Benivolski parasitize C Magazine by producing the third edition of their publication REARVIEWS within the margins of the reviews section.
