existential crisis
isssue 1

Our bodies have always been sites of negotiation,

cultures that taught us shame before language,

systems that erased individuality, fluidity
and identity.

but crisis is not only rupture; it is fertile ground.

as society begins to unravel under the weight of its own illusions,
we choose to stand in the collapse. We do not seek repair.
We question the myths, the borders and the assigned roles that once held us.

We reject fixed narratives and one-dimensional identities. In this fracture,

We form new shapes. evolving, plural, real.
We come from places where beauty has been a form of discipline, where deviation from the norm comes with
a cost, especially for those who exist outside the binaries and the conventional. We know what it means to feel like too
much and not enough at the same time.

So we create spaces where we don’t have to fit.

A space for unapologetic presence, complexity, becoming.

This is our manifesto of in-betweenness stitching together stories from South to North, East to West,

from skins marked by politics to visions that demand presence.

existential crisis,
we find power.

In questioning,
we find movement.

We were never meant to belong.
and maybe that’s the point.
