MAPC Journal Volume 34/35

From MAPC’s Instagram post on this Volume:

Our journal team is pleased to present “Repair”—its 2022 edition, including volumes 34-35. Fidencio Fifield-Perez’s work, “To Live Not Just Survive” features on the journal’s cover and meaningfully frames its contents.

Guest curator Aja Edwin Mujinga summarized the issue:

"Responding to this philosophical call, the printmakers of this journal practiced fractal actions of repair by addressing the harms of disease, marginalization, and injury to their own bodies as well as illustrating moments of self-imagination, self-acceptance, (queer) intimacy, and joy. Others called for accountability by bearing witness to the harms of consumerism and class exploitation, reminding our readers that ‘you cannot combat alien-ation with alienated means.’ Still others practiced [Linda Tuhiwai] Smith’s decolonizing methodologies of remembering, claiming, and celebrating their culture and ancestry...this journal reminds us that the practice of repair is not about denying or erasing harm, but acknowledging it."
