If I Could Witness Anew
Spring 2024
If you could save a moment, return to it in your mind, and
carefully document it — what moment do you choose? What
do you hold close to your soul? What shapes you as the
one, faithful spectator? In an attempt to answer, If I Could
Witness Anew sought featured artists that bear witness to their
everyday life, yet utilize the camera to expose, archive, and
experience monumental, hidden realities. Deeply personal,
and sometimes misleading, the images provide visualization
to struggles of personhood, complicated relationships to
homelands, and the beauty of otherworldly encounters. As
you peruse through the pages, the range found between our
artists reflects an endlessness of experiences, unbounded by
place and time. Above all, the desire to be a witness — and
to be witnessed — describes the humanity and timelessness
that runs through the issue.
