Description
BlackFlash October 2025
“The version of domesticity that emerges in this issue meets the moment. Against the backdrop of the ongoing Palestinian genocide, which exposes the fragility of statehood, as the cost of living renders many major cities increasingly unaffordable, and global rifts exacerbate tensions, mobility, and belonging. These crises have given the term “domestic” a rougher edge, compounding the already complex dynamics of the home with escalating stakes. I’m grateful for the contributors who generously and thoughtfully wrestled with all this in real time.”
