We are excited to share our first online exclusive in advance of the 2019 print journal! In this essay, Gianna Samms discusses Fausto Ortiz’s “Approaches” through a theoretical lens proposed by Hito Steyerl, investigating what the loss of a stable horizon means for postcolonial global connection. Head over to our website to read her beautiful piece, and stay posted for some more online-only content as we continue making progress on our print journal behind the scenes. .
