All-Ways-Open
2022
Co-designed and curated with Chris Cote, All-Ways-Open will be an on-going publication telling small stories about place. It's an experiment in opening writing outwards, directing readers towards visual histories and archives. We aimed to think in triplicate: to consider past / present / future, visual / written / read, self / friend /community.
Our first issue centers on Knoxville and the photographs of Roger Howell, whose work Chris came across in his research at University of Tennessee. Each photo was used first as a prompt for writing, and then as a prompt for visual responses—a game of surreal telephone.
