Reckoning 6

Reckoning 6 edited by Aïcha Martine Thiam and Gabriele Santiago addresses the intersection between social upheaval and environmental change.“[I]t’s like a brief closing of the hand around something small and floating framing it just long enough that we are able to look really look at it. And then if we can we let it go.”—Aïcha Martine Thiam“It is not utopia. But it is what we can have these careful negotiations communications challenges and sharing. We have relationships. New complicated frustrating rewarding.
