NEW RENAISSANCE
We can't go back, but we don't want to. Nor can we go on like this much longer. What will emerge from such a transitional phase, when the civic body is so lacking in health (physical, moral, political and economic)? The Renaissance was not an end in itself, but a bridge between two paradigms (feudalism and modernity). It was a cultural movement that diverted history by rediscovering lost pasts. Today, we do not need newness to cut short capitalist realism, to restore a degraded nature, to achieve greater equality. We have everything necessary for change. We only need the will.
What is a renaissance? We interview HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS on the commodification of our souls. Writer EKOW ESHUN reviews WEB BOIS' double consciousness. Curator ARIA DEAN reviews FUTURE's Mask Off and Black excellence. Photographer STEPHEN SHORE, in conversation with JACK SELF, reviews pictures of the present. Artist ISSY WOOD reviews Diet Coke. Editor and NHS worker REBECCA SHARP reviews the SOCIALIST PATIENTS COLLECTIVE, while BRADY NG and HERA CHAN review Hong Kong protest strategies, plus much more.
