Fugitive Memory: For Tu’i Malila
In this special collaborative issue of Branch and Ding Magazines, Kate Hennessy and Trudi Lynn Smith present an essay based on a series of anthotype prints as homage to Tu’i Malila, a tortoise evoked by Phillip K. Dick in the epigraph for his 1967 novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.” Created with fugitive photographic processes, they describe the images as emerging through a slow and unpredictable practice that allows for intimate sensory exploration of timescales, bodies and memories. See the essay here and full magazine issue here.
This work is was selected for publication in a special collaborative issue of Branch and Ding Magazines, co-edited by Kit Braybrooke, Julia Kloeber, and Michelle Thorne. In addition to digital publication on both magazine websites, the special issue is zine designed by illustrator Leofrine Noev (@leofrine_noev), which can be printed as a poster or folded into a booklet.
We are honoured to be included in this collection of posthuman feminist writing from the Bahamas to Berlin to Vancouver.
