Zine/publication launch: Otherworldly Communications
Constant is very happy to invite you to the launch of its third publication under the SPLINT research trajectory: Otherworldly Communications!
In 2025 Constant’s research focused on how different forms of life co/exist and circulate in the midst of damage and toxicity and how we could critically engage with different conceptions of the ’other’ (as in: other than human, otherworldly and otherings). This publication tells a subjective and multi-voiced story about discoveries and encounters that happened during the unfolding of our activities.
It was compiled during a three day sprint by Constant’s team, guided by graphic designer Sarah Magnan*, and printed at chez rosi* in Brussels using the software Octomode by Creative Crowds.
It will soon be available in print format as well as in web format/pdf on Constant Calibre library.
During the event, we’ll have live contributions by some of the artists that accompanied us in this trajectory, such as Joke Caimo, Blise Orr, Varia*.
You are very welcome to join us for this festive launch. Snacks and drinks will be provided in this early evening hour.
