Economies, like currents, are in constant flux; stories, like buildings, frame moments within larger systems. In Common Currencies, we aim to highlight the transactions that take place at this juncture, the values that are being defined and re-defined, and the new commons that are in the making.

The Edit is an active retelling of the built environment—one of our most ambitious and bold publications to date in its physical format, contributions, and editorial agenda. This issue is about revisiting the archives and drafting new records. What truths and tools can we use to understand and overcome the monolithic, heteronormative, Eurocentric coding that structure our lives? Through words, drawings, posters, and booklets, explore the conditions of possibility that await us when we encounter, resist, reimagine, and rewrite the script. Learn about soil as a record-keeper, sci-fi dystopias, embroidering queer visibility, social design for an aging population, and more.
