Vol. 11 — The Hyperlocal
We begin this issue at the Center of the Universe—Bruce Nauman’s 1988 public sculpture at the University of New Mexico, of course. In the essay by Christina Cook, she considers how her ritual encounters with the piece—documenting slivers of time and space—inform her sense of agency in the face of the vast overwhelm of the climate crisis.
Essentially, this is what we’ve attempted to do throughout this issue: use hyperlocal storytelling as an aperture through which to view issues of global scale. Theorist and activist adrienne maree brown speaks of this in terms of “the fractal—the health of the cell is the health of the species and the planet.” Artists are often on the front lines of community concerns, directly grappling with social justice issues from housing shortages to the humanitarian fallout of the climate crisis. In this issue, we ask: how are artists responding to their immediate environment and community? How are they interpreting the here and now?
Ours is a dispersed region, with many centers and thriving hubs, connected through far-flung networks. We hope this issue will open your eyes to your own hyperlocal environment.
