Moosumi Magazine’s second issue ‘Sanctuaries’ weaves the thread that connects conservation with culture, ecology, and liberation. With a range of stories on topics such as the impact of rapid development on indigenous knowledge, degrowth as an antidote to the climate crisis, interviews with artists, and more, ‘Sanctuaries’ is a collection of powerful stories, messages, and lessons from small island states. The issue is hard-hitting, political, and a love letter to the beauty of small island states.
Ijunad Junaid, Executive Editor
In times of war, peril, and despair, we find refuge in sanctuaries. A place of understanding, truth and lovingkindness.
In refuge, we speak plainly and truthfully. We speak against injustice and violence inflicted on our bodies and the world.
In refuge, we express the ineffable beauty of this world through art, words, dance, and joy. An expression of love and creativity.
In refuge, we come home to ourselves, and we open our eyes to the interconnectedness of all life. Our world, actions, friends, family, and love all blend into one.
Moosumi’s second issue, Sanctuaries, is a refuge for those who love and fight for the earth with lovingkindness.
