mnemotope is our community magazine, the name of which comes from a term that’s used in writings about archaeological finds. a mnemotope is something (often historical) that compresses the viewer’s experience of time; allowing them to be in the period in which the object came to be, at the site when it was excavated and in the museum looking at it.

we started the magazine to gather and hold space for all voices from all backgrounds. we don't put restrictions on grammar, writing style or form, which traditional publishing often uses to exclude people from print. your stories, observations, drawings are just as important as any!!

this edition is quite atmospheric, with many stories walking a blurred line between fiction and reality. in the voices of our 46 contributors, we’re brought through poems, prose, overheard conversations, wake-up times, engravings, diary entries, translations and much much more.
