Pain

Fall 2022

In recent years, the question of pain, whether physical or psychological, has become a hot topic in media and scientific discourses. This issue reflects on the place that pain claims in contemporary art through the production of forms and images of suffering that don’t forget the care, don’t ignore the trauma, and take the affects of the aesthetic relationship into account.

Crip

Spring Summer 2026

While “handi” (short for the term “handicapé” in French) and “crip” (derived from “cripple,” meaning “disabled”) are diminutive forms of stigmatizing terms, the meaning we ascribe to them is by no means reductive. On the contrary, they carry a political weight that provides those who embrace them with a powerful tool for empowerment, offering disabled artists non-normative ways for articulating the strange temporalities of disabled experience and alternative ways for navigating an ableist art world. In this issue, we are interested precisely in this work of social, political, and cultural transformation, and we focus on the ways in which crip authors and artists address the different challenges they face.
