Description
BlackFlash Fall 2026
“This issue is about homecoming and impermanence; it’s also about the relationship between the part and the whole and, as ever, the centre and the periphery. There is a newfound premium on moving against the logic of optimization. There are mementos and memento mori. There is the vertigo of coming back to a once-familiar place and finding it estranged. There is a folk-art mask that purges wheat. There is cannibalism. There are puppets.”
