THE LISSOME publishes an annual print edition featuring essays, interviews, poetry and fashion stories.
There is a beautiful slowness and intentionality that comes with creating something that materialises in the world – as well as with reading something in print rather than on fleeting online pages. We aspire to create print editions that are beautiful and long-lasting, that inspire through their physical form as well as their purposeful content and that can be referred back to in time and passed on to future generations of readers.
In our third edition,
The Lissome N°3: Cosmic Commons, we create a vision board for a collaborate future, a living breathing commons, filled with cosmic laughter and universal love
We listen into a new epoch and sense an ancient network of interconnections. Where is our place as humans in the vastness of the night sky? Star seeds are gathering, and the sanctity of the commons shows us a path: we can rebuild our world by coming together and reclaiming our shared prosperity and aliveness. The sacredness of space is not for one to rule but for all to steward. Our future is a pluriverse.
We would like to thank our sponsors, Dr. Hauschka, VIU, Santaverde, Wildling and GRN, and our printing partner, Druckhaus Sportflieger, for their vital support of our work and vision.
