Description
BlackFlash Winter 2022/23
Our Winter 2023 issue considers the complexities of home and placemaking in the face of uncertainty. The issue’s editorial projects offer tools for inquiry, community and familial reconnection, self-expression, and the fight against erasure. While each project is self-contained and reflects the personal ethos of each contributor, there is dialogue that runs across the issue, resulting in themes and practices that reconsider and subvert our ideas of what makes a home.
