Errant Journal is an international publication for cultural theory and practice aimed at bringing together diverse local perspectives on a global scale, and questioning the politics of knowledge and representation through language, art and other disciplines. With its decolonial and pluriversal approach to themed issues related to (a.o.) geo/body-politics, museology, ecocide, and activism, it connects theory with practice in an expansive field of knowledge.The magazine is a concept by Irene de Craen, realized in collaboration with Framer Framed, an Amsterdam-based platform for contemporary art, visual culture, and critical theory & practice. Its discourse is supported by a programme of public events and podcasts. The first issue of Errant Journal critically examines the concept of the ‘contemporary’ and questions time’s claim to universality. Titled When Are We? this issue is about the politics of time and the way in which we have internalized the idea of the present, of what is modern, contemporary and now, and how these concepts are riddled with contradictions and based on mechanisms of exclusion. The second issue sets off from the term ‘slow violence’ because we believe that the relation with violence should be front and centre in the discussions of the ‘climate crisis’ in order to bring the rather abstract concept of ´climate change´ back in relation to the underlying necropolitics.
