Issue 11: Journal of Aesthetics & Protest, Culture Beside Itself
Autonomously edited non-fascist or avant garde collectively edited 
Newsletters,
presented as a model for other ways of research and non-institutional 
work. In that
way, it is conceptualized in relation to new municipalist and decolonial 
cultural and theoretical work.

The Journal of Aesthetics & Protest is an almost 20-year old autonomous 
non-academic journal
that describes itself as a “freak archive”, publishing outfit and 
artist’s colective.

/Culture Beside Itself/,  the 11th issue is primarilly a compendium of 
19 newsetters,
authored and autonomously edited non- or anti-fascist or avant garde 
collectives.
These newsletters were locally distributed before joining our compendium.
The editorial/curatorial project began as a way to support and/or 
initiate more long-term situated
praxis - praxis with a decidedly critical eye towards whatever mediating 
force– left or right;
in support of radical, decolonial, eco-social and progressive ends bound 
up in those left-mediating forces.
The issue is a work of political solidarity and book arts; we wanted to 
take seriously our practice as editor/orgaizers.

The issue began with the rise of an institutional left and an art world 
hot and bothered up its scales by the rising right
and our desire to assist practices that were not primarilly motivated to 
move up the scales of mediatic and autonomated political power,
but rather, to care for immediate situations.

This was conceptualized, also, in some sort of relation to our Journal's 
nearly 20 year existence as a precarious
non-institution, socially yet strangely situated outside but besides 
seemingly important discourse. This situation
ground's this issue's perspective.

The issue features 19 autonomously edited newsletters, initially edited 
and distributed in a variety of situations and contexts
in Asia, Europe, Australia and North America. We worked hard to make 
this as global an issue as possible: the
success and failures of this effort are evident.
