Summary:
A collection of essays by art historians, anthropologists and commentators on contemporary visual culture on the theme of "Location". This publication explores the theme of "Location", including transatlantic exchanges and global connections, and the nature of hospitality that arises in acknowledging migration and diaspora. It also questions how important location is in producing, understanding and curating art. The contributors consider such topics as site-specificity, examinations of the trans-national/trans-cultural, how images/visual forms migrate, and the repositioning of ownership.

Summary:
"Parallel Cities" examines the history of the multilevel city with a focus on elevated pedestrian systems as a recurrent concept in urban planning and design. The book chronicles the evolution and migration of this concept from 19th-century French social utopian thinkers and 20th-century Soviet Constructivist architectural circles to its incubation in postwar London, its theorization by members of CIAM and Team 10, and its eventual dissemination to North America and Asia, where extensive systems were built in cities such as Minneapolis, Calgary and Hong Kong.

Summary:
Appropriated Landscapes explores the landscapes of Southern Africa, through photography and video from artists including David Goldblatt, Santu Mofokeng, Jo Ractliffe, Penny Siopis and Guy Tillim. By examining the effects of war, migration, colonisation, industrialisation and ideology on South Africa, Namibia, Angola and Mozambique, this book reveals the varied histories of these regions and their peoples. Landscape - both in Southern Africa and beyond - shows itself as ultimately a construct of the mind, composed as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock.

Summary:
THE AGAINST NATURE JOURNAL is a biannual arts and human rights magazine exploring ''crime against nature'' laws and their legacies, in print, in person, and online. Authors and readers from law, activism, social sciences, and the arts are brought together to foster dialogue on sexual and reproductive rights and rethink nature anew. This second issue – edited by Aimar Arriola and Grégory Castéra – revolves around the theme of migration, a crucial topic when addressing the forced displacement of LGBTQ+ people from contexts where ''nature'' is still used to criminalize consensual same-sex conduct or gender expression.
