A magazine concerning the politics of space and bodies, which along with its podcast and blog, is building an archive for anti-colonial, anti-racist, queer, and feminist struggles. Now published in English, French, and Spanish (we have the English version).
The 57th edition of The Funambulist is themed The Night. This issue explores how different cultures respond to the nocturnal phase; how it aids guerilla movements against state violence, provides guidance from the celestial sky and anti-capitalist perspectives on the relationship between oneself and nature. Texts from Mohamad Nahleh, Yin Q, D.Kauwila Mahi, Stephanie Briers, and more, sensitively intertwines the theme of The Night with current affairs and conflicts happening around the world.
And what’s the meaning of funambulist, you ask? ‘One who performs on a tightrope or slack rope.’
