โAbout the Book
โ๐๐๐๐๐ก: ๐๐๐ค๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ traces the shifting boundary between land and sea, using this imagery to explore the fluidity of histories, identities, memories, and representations. By reimagining photography as a site of resistance and care, this issue gathers artists who work with archives that drift between the weight of history and the triviality of domestic life.
