'In this issue there are no conclusion to be drawn' - Letizia Bonanno introduces the sixteenth issue

Graphic issue(s).
Or, storytelling otherwise
editor's note by Letizia Bonanno

What binds drawing, storytelling and ethnography is not a method but a shared curiosity. And perhaps, a sense of dissatisfaction. Or that scary feeling of drowning in words, in the tacit rigid rules of text: the binding power of logics. But also, a desire to see how far we can stretch time, fold it, wrinkle it, sketch it. Until it slips, glimmers, and refuses to hold still.

OUR NEW ISSUE IS OUT! GRAPHIC IS OUT!

In this issue there is no conclusion to be drawn. No lesson to be learnt. Just fragments. Traces. Half-dreamt sketches of being and becoming. Samir Harb grows seeds, lines and peace of mind, cultivating freedom in a pot of Palestinian soil. Oana Lohan takes stock of memory and objects, dragging us through the sweet traps of nostalgia. Jacek Wajszczak’s wandering lines carry us into the slow, irreversible becoming of a city, where an uncanny encounter between a donkey and Le Corbusier occurs. Alba Gutiérrez González, through bright colours and soft shapes, takes us on a visual journey to Mexico, asking us to reckon with the atrocity of humanity. Laura Mafizzoli, through the hypnotic curves of Georgian calligraphy, opens a Pandora’s box of contested memory: what happens when the memories of the past contradict what we were taught about it?
