The Earth Of: Writing Through a Time of Rupture

The Earth Of arose from the global pandemic that called a halt to Arts Letters & Numbers’ residency programs in early 2020. A new strategy was necessary to pursue the objective of creative investigation across disciplines, genres, generations and cultural origins. The Earth Of was part online writing workshop, part collaborative research, motivated by a range of working methods in visual art, performance, poetry, architecture, and philosophy. The question became how to integrate into these disparate creative processes the escalating sense of rupture that defines this moment. This anthology is the result.
