AKAR 2: Motion

Paperback

9789811436710

In this issue, we want to explore what it means to move and to be moved​—​across time, space, worlds, and circumstances. Why do people move? How does art communicate across mediums to open our eyes to the world? As that which sustains us, do we value our relationship with our rivers? What does it mean to raise your hands to the heavens and prostrate on the earth? What happens when you literally lose your ability to move?
