About the book
This book is an interactive experimental project about creative writing and language, collectivity and multitudes. It is a collection of fictional archival materials from the future that reflect the journey of a queer feminist collective living on a Mediterranean island. Through this fictional archival material, and their many authors and writing styles, we see personal and geopolitical developments in the wider region, as well as the aesthetic and linguistic changes created by “Medlish” (Mediterranean English). In Medlish—the language of the future and of the curators of this archival material—we read about their values, thoughts, and feelings about their own time and ours. This volume is part of the Feminist Praxis series of the Feminist Autonomous Centre for Research in Athens.
