Bringing together a flavourful rasanblaj of artists and thinkers, Can, Cannot, and Other Options is an anthology of speculative non/fictions, personal and interpersonal confessions, and experimental propositions, that highlights the desires for lives lived fully which have persisted through toxic times and in spite of deep violence. Pathways for other options have always been there all along — the repetitive task of times anew remains, always, to find these paths again.
Contributors: Riksa Afiaty and Theodora Agni, Joshua Babcock, Chand Chandramohan, Stefano Harney, bani haykal, Pitchaya Ngamcharoen and Vinita Gatne (with Areumnari Ee, Dina Mohamed & Wang Duruo), nor, Nurul Huda Rashid, and Marcus Yee.
