ORIENTATION

ORIENTATION

issue 01 2022.

CIRCA begins through the act of finding Orientation. Towards a sense of situation, first comes a moment of observing that which surrounds. To find place is to find a reference point for all which follows. 

This reading of located place tends towards the specific and the complex: what are the landmarks, the geographical or cultural topographies, the shared knowledge and traditions which give context and agency? Orientation here suggests an ongoing and transformative process, both geographical and anthropological, as an open-ended investigation into the present state of discourse and events as well as our role within them.
