These projects are often deeply personal, based on life stories and experiences, and connected with experiential knowledge of in different fields of art. Others are driven by a desire to imagining and staging the past, thus establishing a dynamic relationship between history, the present and the future. Editors for the issue are Behzad Khosravi Noori and Magnus Bärtås.
