ORDER FALL WINTER 2023: The INSTINCT Issue
ORDER FALL WINTER 2023: The INSTINCT Issue
Buried deep in the hard drive of our genetic code, and in the cloud of our unconscious, we roam the earth guided by hidden, unlearned impulses. Although we are barely an evolutionary leap from our simian antecedents, our primitive instincts still guide us in profound ways. This issue is a dark and seductive Jungian exploration of these buried, hereditary desires pulsating just under the surface. How do we break out of the hive mind and listen to our intuition?
