EPOCH Issue 2 – Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis occurs when we examine history with a new perspective. This is something at the heart of anyone attempting to engage with political and personal shifts. It is at the heart of everything from psychoanalysis to decolonization. In an era of echo-chamber opinions deepened by algorithms that amplify conflict, societies feel far from transformative ideals. Yet, at the centre of all utopias or pro-topias, deep change is possible. We can transform the present and the future by addressing the past. This second issue of EPOCH is loosely devoted to metamorphosis and how we ride the wave of these shifts in the past, present, and future.

What happens when you think of history differently? Linear history is an illusion. A dated idea based on concepts of progress and production. EPOCH aims to place the now in dialogue with the past. It is a publication and platform with an untethered, emotional, active take on the wholeness of civilization.

We are striving for a cross-pollination of disciplines, from anthropology to fashion, science to art, archaeology to music. A space for artists, thinkers, historians, anthropologists, composers, archaeologists, researchers, curators, filmmakers, photographers, architects, librarians, academics and all those working creatively to poetically form new ways of thinking about the world.
