VERSO /
volume 4
"Uprising"

October 2017 — June 2018


I am an instrument in the shape
of a woman trying to translate pulsations
into images for the relief of the body
and the reconstruction of the mind.

—from "Planetarium", Adrienne Rich

UPRISING: from chants to tweets, rallies to petitions, the sounds (and silences) of resistance took centerstage in VERSO /’s fourth season.
