From the introduction “Life exists as and through mutualism. Whether strategically developed or spontaneously formed, mutualisms are often how entire ecosystems are transformed, social movements are built, systems are changed, and dynamic processes evolve…In this publication, we explore strange mutualisms or improper alliances – relations that complicate the binary of beneficial vs. harmful arrangements to make room for the ways that collaboration across differences is necessarily vulnerable, uncomfortable, and strange.” First publication by @vernalpoolpress #queerecology #artistbook #risograph #collaborativepublication
