Excerpt
Sofia Misenheimer, Editor-in-chief:

The goal of this issue is twofold: to remind you that you’re not alone in your struggles and to offer accessible ways to jumpstart your own path to healing through engagement with the arts. […]
The issue opens with a poetic reflection by street artist Sloast on her artistic practice, which centres on embracing vulnerability and helping others express themselves through art-making.

About Articulation Magzine
Art/iculation is an interdisciplinary print and digital magazine that aims to challenge mainstream notions of culture by spotlighting un(der)represented topics of cultural interest. The magazine takes its name from “The theory and method of articulation in cultural studies” by Jennifer Daryl Slack, who argues “articulation can be understood as a way of characterizing a social formation without falling into the twin traps of reductionism and essentialism”. This captures the spirit of Art/iculation, which aims to make space for nuanced critique from various perspectives.
