The precarity folio explores conditions, causes and consequences of instability. We want texts that contemplate new realities, understandings and expectations that arise in moments of upheaval, disintegration, and fundamental shift. The great tensions and possibilities, dilation of time, tipping points, notions of emergency, tightropes, free solos, gig economies, seed banks and the rise of AI.

Less than a week left to send us something for our themed folios and/or general submissions! Find all the details about the folios and guidelines on our website. Do you have something precarious to send us?
