ISSUE #3 (Urgentcraft) assembles 18 artists and writers who prioritize maintenance as a form of urgency. Upon receipt, this publication e x p a n d s in the hands of its reader, filling an enormous space with queer feeling. It shapes a landscape that speaks of visibility, of a commitment to pleasure, of kinship networks, of memory, of closely re-written histories, of engaged dialogue, of riptides, of affective space beyond the material, of a failed, imperfect read. Of communal care as a never-ending practice.
