Graphic #47

‘Graphic’ invited ten teams that approach topical social issues from various angles, providing them with sixteen pages to convey their areas of research. For some, this is a report, chronology, or journal, while others choose talks, interviews, or colouring books to reinforce their arguments. The teams all share the same kind of critical mind in their search for appropriate means of expression. Three short essays which expand upon the topics raised are also included. Emerging from different backgrounds and thematic concerns, they nevertheless give rise to constructive discussion. Rather than appearing as a single volume, the contributions are bound separately like brochures or flyers.
