[Marc Herbst]

Dear all,

We present the results of our 2 year's  editorial/curatorial and collaborative research work through these turbulent times
in the form of our 11th issue- “Culture Beside Itself” <http://www.joaap.org/issue11/issue11note.htm> -http://www.joaap.org/issue11/issue11note.htm <http://www.joaap.org/issue11/issue11note.htm>

Issue 11: Journal of Aesthetics & Protest, Culture Beside Itself
Autonomously edited non-fascist or avant garde collectively edited Newsletters, 
presented as a model for other ways of research and non-institutional work. In that 
way, it is conceptualized in relation to new municipalist and decolonial cultural and theoretical work. 

The Journal of Aesthetics & Protest is an almost 20-year old autonomous non-academic journal 
that describes itself as a “freak archive” and radical thinking group, publishing outfit and artist’s colective.

———————————————



Culture Beside Itself,  the 11th issue is primarilly a compendium of 19 newsetters,
authored and autonomously edited non- or anti-fascist or avant garde collectives.
These newsletters were locally distributed before joining our compendium.
 
The editorial/curatorial project began as a way to support and/or initiate more long-term situated
praxis - praxis with a decidedly critical eye towards whatever mediating force– left or right;
in support of radical, decolonial, eco-social and progressive ends bound up in those left-mediating forces.
The issue is a work of political solidarity and book arts; we wanted to take seriously our practice as editor/orgaizers.
