Desiring Temporalities + Playful Aesthetics

NACLA’s Summer 2026 issue explores artistic practices of creation and research that experiment with ways of inhabiting the present, activating memory, engaging the archive, and stirring the senses in and from conditions of ongoing dispossession. 

The collection centers creative methodologies oriented by desire, collective praxis, and play, exploring diverse mediums from performance art and experimental poetry to digital archives, jazzoetry, music, and forms of listening attuned to crisis in the past and present.
