We might find out that a forest full of danger is no different from the world wide web we're plugged into. Norstein’s Hedgehog in the Fog (1975) becomes a small parable about touch in a mediated age: awe, dread, anonymous grace, then the awkward return to tea, jam and a friend. Written by Tom Sanders * Speak Weird Words A writer and sometime a performer whose work drifts through surveillance, memory and myth. He’s written a play in which statues speak, a story about a zoo with no exits, and journalism that tastes faintly of iron and ash. His fiction and essays circle the eerie, the civic, and the unresolved. He reports from the fog but tries not to live in it. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2748663296798419373094250279401/2_5.jpg The Story of Hajichi This is a story woven through skin. For centuries, Ryukyuan women, indigenous to the Okinawa islands, wore intricate hand tattoos, called ‘Hajichi’. However, this sacred practice, along with their lives, was heavily burdened by colonial oppression. During the preparation for this article, we received feedback from the Ryukyu community to always include an indigenous creator. So, Tereza, the author of this article, reached out to Mim, the owner of a tattoo studio in Okinawa, to tell us more. Talks with Minami Shimoji * Mim Drawing Written and translated from Japanese by Tereza Kovalská Born and raised in Okinawa, Minami is a body artist, occupational therapist and a musician. Daily, she deepens her learning about Okinawan (Ryukyu) history and culture, Hajichi and the spirituality of her ancestors. Tereza. An aspiring writer and graduate of East Asian Studies. She is currently working on her debut novel “Lost Among Salarymen” which she hopes will serve as a guide to anyone wishing to live and work in Japan. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/A2781684078649397129664320565737/_above_below_.jpg Anti-Insanity Ritual When was the last time that you saw something in the news that made you smile? Buried deep under the daily global news of destruction lie the hidden and forgotten deeds of good, the tales of dedication, hard work, and efforts towards brighter tomorrows. Anti-insanity Ritual is a virtual project, assembling the good news into chronicles of hope for humanity. Written by tt. A thinker who writes rather than a writer who thinks, drawn to the terrain between disciplines. Where the humanities, science, literature, art, and mathematics refuse to exist separately. Where the past continues to speak inside the present. There is a particular reverence for the dead here, not as relics but as quiet collaborators in the ongoing work of the living. The past is studied closely; the present met with discernment. Thought is kept nourished; language, attentive, not just a carrier of information, but part of the composition. Inquiry remains restless, as curiosity maps the ground mindful of those who walked it first. Accompanying art by gl1tc4_s0n. A glitch artist and techspressionist from Kharkiv, Ukraine. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/E2860404729415424902393354842601/10-4.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L3083197296198655088509270684137/5-4.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z3083197296235548576656689787369/-FFCC80.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/N3083197296217101832582980235753/4-5.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P3097721035939833784429912584681/final-design-gg-HQ-3.png How to Find the Underground? From vinyl, tapes and CDs to worn-out soles and then back again. The sudden connection of the 21st century opened access to a wide range of sounds and places that we otherwise would have only dreamed of visiting, including the efforts of alternative currents from around the world. Looking beyond the tall towers of K-Pop, this visual reflection on a student's research captures fragments of the fluid underground music scene in Seoul city. Let it inspire you to connect with creative spaces in your own surroundings. Photo-Essay by Iba Swan A theoretical lighthouse keeper, writer, traveler, documentary maker and eternal apprentice. She is interested in the meaning of fairy tales, most notably the overlap between urban legends and reality. Her work, both fiction and non-fiction, is focused on making anthropology more human and honouring ordinary rebellions. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P3097979141399407322947907285481/final-design-gg-HQ-7.png Lost & Found in Virtual Worlds On memory, belonging, and the internet beyond capitalism. 'Preserving Worlds' is a documentary series about aging social virtual worlds, intriguing online spaces that have been active since as early as the 90s, and the vibrant online communities built around them. Using an ethnographic approach, this duo of filmmakers noclip between the delicate environments to capture how people form bonds and spend time there. Welcome on board of the expedition. Talks with Derek Murphy and Mitchell Zemil Derek works as a public librarian in Boston, Massachusetts, but does film work in his spare time. Mitchell is a professional animator and adjunct professor in Brooklyn, New York. Together, they are a pair of filmmakers who have been working together ever since they started filming urban exploration trips in their hometown of Sarasota, Florida. That footage became the basis of an experimental documentary, Sarasota Half in Dream. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/N3097980349808718103513214546409/final-design-gg-HQ-8.png Levant Divided Following closely along the old railway network that connected neighbours to neighbours, Jwan's essay traces the past organic coherence of the West Asia* region and its violent colonial disruption, challenging the imperial lens and offering a dream of shared futures. *This term has been favoured among scholars, notably Nawal El Saadawi, to replace 'Middle East', due to the Eurocentric nature of the latter term: as it refers to the proximity of this area from the British colonial empire, instead of viewing it as a center of its own. Written and translated to Arabic by Jwan Zreiq A Palestinian writer based in Amman, Jordan, writing from the perspective of the diaspora. Her work explores identity, memory, and language as tools of anti-colonial reclaiming, situating the struggle for a free Palestine within broader movements for liberation across the Global South, Indigenous communities, and marginalized peoples worldwide. https://ggplace.online/issue-2 2026-08-23T18:38:38+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/E2823446485688482240635395174889/1-1.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2848772914593389384161291989481/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-19-at-21.24.28.jpeg https://ggplace.online/footer 2026-08-02T11:30:08+00:00 always 0.5 https://ggplace.online/crease-shadow-1 2026-08-02T11:30:08+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Y2251940269260672588644127237921/crease-multiply--dark.png https://ggplace.online/crease-highlight-1 2026-08-02T11:30:08+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2251924765639275607230342915873/crease-screen--dark.png
