CONTOURS IS OUT!

Contours mark the outlines of perception and understanding, where meaning is emergent and shifting. Contours trace lines of connection and imagination, where boundaries push up against open space.

Fiona Murphy explores the contours of a new vocabulary from the internet age. Anna Gustaffson wonders about human touch in a world of Zoom screens. Dilshanie Perera learns about land and loss in Bangladesh’s delta region.
