The pieces in this volume critically address questions including: the importance of allyship and intersectionality in dealing with any individual act of prejudice and mistreatment; our need for solidarity, plurality and diversity, all forms of survival when the world paints a target on your back just for existing; the value of fierce, unapologetic, unflinching rebellion; and other responses to generational violence. They deal with and give us fuel to think through issues around the false dichotomy and conflict between real life and escapism, the fine line between horror and the erotic, and the imperative to reinvent or remodel the world, reassessing appearances and assumptions, tell our stories, not those imposed on us by power. It has never been more important for art to insist on the change we want to see in the world. That is always what we have wanted to see in the pages of TFF, and we’re delighted with what Vanessa, Shelly, M, Juliet, Jordan, Hester, Celia, Avra and AJ have written, and Cécile, Eric, Fluffgar, Josep, Joyce, Katharine, LE, Martin and Miguel have drawn for us this time around.
