The Reclaimed Body

Bodies, materials, and the politics of being unmade.

124 pages

Issue 03 turns to the body itself as a circular site — what we wear, what we shed, what gets remade. From Iris Holloway’s reclaimed-lace atelier in Shoreditch to the seamstresses retraining textile waste pickers in Lagos, this edition is about reclamation as both material practice and political act.
