DESCRIPTION
The Vermin is an experimental publication co-founded by Nazanin Zarepour and Mohamed Serageldin. For our third issue, we explore inscription – the marking and cutting of material surfaces toward the production of meaning. Submissions in this issue include reflections on archives and archival practices, erasures and traces of erasures, writings on/of the body, symptoms and the unconscious, skin picking, transition and de-transition, insurgency and political rebellion, and much more.
