RÉSUMÉ
Born during the year of global pandemic, confinement and social distancing, issue 03: Touch, brings us, paradoxically, stories of connection, transformation and healing. With issue 03, we wander into the underworlds of Northern Japan, find home in the Mediterranean Sea, experiment with manhood in the arctic, unite on a Kurdish mountain and touch Palestine in Dubai. The Touch issue recovers some of the powers of a sense that has become restrained.
