  • Program

For each edition of ISSUES, a collectively thematic framing is decided upon. The selected theme for the 2023 Edition of ISSUES is “Mutual Support”.

Through the act of amassing and assembling the various themes, ways of workings and methodologies that connect the SoC 2023 cohort, ISSUES, itself, provides a distributable, publishable (mutual) support structure.

Join us for the festive launch event of ISSUES 2023 on the evening of Sunday 4th Feb from 20.30pm CET onwards to hear specially invited guest, Sophie Mak-Schram, discuss “mutual support” in relation to support infrastructures, and self-organised supportive systems before joining the ISSUES contributors and editor in conversation, to discuss how their contributions seek to add further nuance and perspective to this collective framing.
