Queer Out Here Issue 06

From academia to ice swimming, from the city to the bush, come with us! Let’s head down the river to the sea and to the islands beyond. Whether surf fishing, grappling with the impact of lockdown or addressing racism in environmental movements, our contributors offer glimpses into their own moments and ongoing projects of connecting with outdoor spaces and places. The story of Issue 06 grows out of the interplays of internal/external, anticipation/reality, history/present, between what we want and what we feel able or allowed to do. Together, the pieces describe ways of moving towards being present in the outdoors.
