Issue 10, Old Cracks in New Mirrors asks us „For a radical equality, we need to recalibrate. But the question is not how and where to start when everything seems to be broken, when opposition to social hierarchy is repeatedly defeated. The question is: Who are we in relation to others? Old Cracks in New Mirrors aims to account for political conditions inscribed into contemporary social behaviors all over the globe. Revolutionary practices here are little buds that burst once phenology allows for dissatisfaction’s energy to converge. While revolution might be impossible within capitalist realism, this issue looks at possibilities to sculpt structural change towards social equality… differently.

Century-old lore holds fast to the idea that a mirror is a reflection of the world, one’s appearance - and one’s soul. For the superstitious, breaking a mirror also means breaking the soul into pieces. For the survival of our souls in times of artificial viruses of all sorts, we need societies to cultivate solidarity, and humans to continually become human, and capitalist hegemony to, yes, R.I.P.“
