Air was the theme we were always a little wary of. What could be said of the spaces between things? But as we worked through this issue, many of us found ourselves to be disproportionately airy, or “away with the fairies”, and often in need of grounding and planting roots, balanced by good food, crafts, dancing, yoga and other embodiment practices. As a consequence, we loved how this issue turned out— strewn with melancholy, grief, and wonder at the mysterious world that lies just out of sight. Its conception felt at once personal and universal, and, as always, we’re proud of the writings and artwork featured within.

Who made the Air issue?

Our magazine is always a collaboration between writers, artists, and our small team artists and writers. Some 50 people or more come together to make it happen.
