We are thrilled to announce the second Kunstlicht issue of 2024!
Guest edited by Robbie Schwiger and Suzie van Staaveren, The Swamp Potential has arrived, ready to be your thought-provoking companion throughout the rest of the [removed];
“Going beyond the swamp’s ecological potential as carbon sinks and buffer zones between land and water in times of climate crisis, this issue of Kunstlicht positions swamps as entities, spaces, and communities where complexity, interspecies interdependence, and relationality take precedence over human domination and productivity. Contributions to this issue under-score the swamp’s potential as a disruptive, polychronic space, resisting linear time and capitalist notions of progress. They explore how swamps preserve mythologies and provide material evidence that past and present, life and death are interconnected, and offer alternative ways of grieving and co-existing. Swamps, as spaces where many worlds fit, invite us to rethink our relationship with the environment, embracing uncertainty and doubt as generative forces for transformative thought.”
We hope you enjoy reading The Swamp Potential!
