Really wild to have the piece Cecilia Danell and I have collaborated on, ‘DISTURBANCE – Heracleum Mantegazzianum’, published by Minor Literature[s]! The essay is an ode to the little-liked giant hogweed and to the writings of gardener philosopher Gilles Clément. Massive thanks to the editors.

The thesis of Amirahvelda Priyono’s new photo essay for Circa, commissioned by Brian Curtin, is straightforward: conflict is similar the world over; not denying the specifics of a given struggle, art-related visual imagery is a powerful communicator across cultures.
Content warning: some of the images are upsetting.
