Volume 2: Issue 3

The focus of this issue is Palestine. Why Palestine? Because few places expose the urgency of peace more starkly. Palestine forces us to confront difficult questions about justice, memory, solidarity, and what a lasting peace demands. Featuring contributions from the Palestinian theatre company ASHTAR Theatre and Palestinian artist Halima Aziz, this issue explores Palestine not only as a place, but as a lens through which to reflect on one of the defining moral and political questions of our time.
