Illustrated Journal

"The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them."

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Through this journal, we are inviting you into a new way of thinking and doing, one which begins with questioning everything we take for granted.

In particular, how we contribute – or think we contribute – to a better world. We will not have all the answers, but we want to ask better questions.

Agents of Dehumanisation

“When you exclude people from the conversation, when they don’t have a role in your journalism, when they don’t have a role in your film, when they don’t have a role in your TV, when they don’t have a role in your books, they seize to exist as people and become these kind of cartoon cut-outs that other people make of them. And they become much more easy to kill. That’s on us.” — Ta-Nehisi Coates

The Brokers of Violence

“Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilise, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one shouldn't trust the evidence of one's eyes watching the destruction and the misery and death brought by the latest mission civilisatrice.” ― Edward W. Said

Words from the Congo

“"Poetry is about freedom of articulation and affirming the truth of our experiences. I think of my writing as joining a long line of women’s resistance poetry that exposes the social and political conditions of women’s existences.” — Sarah Lubala
