Issue 04: Terra Incognita

The phrase ‘Terra Incognita’ traces back to the Egyptian scholar Ptolemy, who used it in his geography to identify regions not yet labeled by the Roman Empire. It can be found on old maps to show that cartographers knew they did not know: the awareness of knowledge’s limits, the admission of the unknown. Despite how admittedly douchey we sound saying it, we wanted to pay homage to this label in Issue 04 as a ferocious act of mysticism — celebrating pockets of culture, and of ourselves, that have refused endless attempts of defining and rationalising. This issue, featuring creators’ fearless explorations of sound, sport, craft, and community, challenges you to submerge yourself heedlessly. Itching to be explored tangibly themselves, these pages of separate words and images can be paired and flipped through together, or stand alone — allowing space for a reader’s own narratives.

Thread together by your hand, these are souvenirs of the unseen.
