The POLAR OPPOSITES exhibition in February 2022 was accompanied by a zine titled RARE EARTH. Featuring essays, poetry, and visual art from contributors based around the world, RARE EARTH explores parallel issues of ecology, majority-Earth survivalism, different perspectives on the climate crisis, decolonial geography, migration, geologic time, and ancestral knowledge.
Reflecting the material and conceptual foundation of the POLAR OPPOSITES exhibition, the RARE EARTH zine is designed in dual-orientation, and each print copy is hand saddle-bound with metallic thread, and features a shipping tape-laminated cover embedded with mica powder and neodymium magnets.
Deep gratitude goes out to all contributors: Jeffery Darensbourg, Luyo Space, Simon Speiser, Stephanie Comilang, Wawi Navarroza and Liyang Network for the collaboration, as well as exhibition collaborators Keturah Cummings and Lucinda Dayhew.
