The first volume of the new series "WMW NOW" is dedicated to the artist, activist, and farmer Tabita Rezaire, who presents a poetic, critical reconfiguration of knowledge in her work, combining indigenous cosmologies, African spirituality, ecofeminist perspectives, and scientific findings into a visually and conceptually dense practice.

Five authors provide contributions from their respective fields to this project: artist Léa d. Allexandre, curator Inke Arns, environmental activist and writer Holly Bynoe, ethnobotanist Marc-Alexandre Tareau, and marine biologist and behavioural scientist Anja Wegner. Their texts open multi-layered approaches to Rezaire’s work and allow us to experience the productive ways in which knowledge, practice, and aesthetics intersect.
