last month, I had the great pleasure of interviewing @HHamayel2, asking how might our thought and praxis continue responding to the event of October 7, despite the ongoing bloodshed and carving up of the region by empire. Thank you to @runwayjournal! new.runway.org.au/issues/issue-4…

“What cracks form in the stronghold of Empire when you attend to the heart?” —Lamisse Hamouda and Han Reardon-Smith in Issue 48: Groundswell runway.org.au/issues/issue-4…

“I have an idea which involves lots of recordings of mob laughing” Lulu Houdini’s ‘Intergenerational Vibrancy’ weaves us into a moment where we are listening closely to the forever laughter of mob carried by the coolamon. Out now in Issue 48: Groundswell 🌀

Bebe Oliver’s ‘the black stump rides the gravy train’ is out now in Issue 48. “there’s no shame 

in our existence --------- in the way we are --------- in the homes we build 

the shame can only be found when you deny us a life of sovereignty” runway.org.au/issues/issue-4…

“In living out the processes of lumbung, nongkrong, piket and majelis, in prioritising making friends, learning from each other and self-organising, we glimpsed a blueprint for how we might thrive outside of individualism and capitalism.” —Tian Zhang runway.org.au/issues/issue-4…

Hope Kuchel in Issue 48: “In this work, the threads represent more than just natural materials, they are a metaphor for the interwoven lives, stories, and knowledge that flow between generations.”

“The purpose of this issue is to amplify the groundswell of voices, experiences, and work that speak to the power of enduring love, kinship, and the agency of Country, collective action and cultural practices in the face of colonial agendas.” - Maya Hodge runway.org.au/issues/issue-4…
