journal

With our regular print publication, we reflect on the relationship between experimental literature / art, and the personal, the radical and the postcolonial. LUMIN Journal is a space of convergence and dialogue; experimental and innovative poetry alongside intimate philosophies; ecology, futures, and dreams; anti-colonial writing together with close conversations. We are open to any medium, and are particularly interested in collaborative, dialogical and in-progress works, exploring how these might appear in print.
