Initial thematic concepts for Ed.21 grew out of collective responses to the physical, emotional, and spiritual impacts of COVID-19 pandemic. Invited practitioners were offered four double-page spreads to reflect on how they creatively navigated and overcame the challenges of social separation and cultural disconnection.
The essence of this special edition is the narrative of connection and genealogy between humans and all ecosystems as a holistic and integrated system. Ed.21 incorporates visual, augmented, and sonic design queues to communicate the multi-layered Māori creation story.
