About 

Special Issue s is a curated platform exploring the expanded field of design as a site of research, resistance, and repair. We publish irregular issues that bring together voices from diverse disciplines—designers, writers, artists, and educators—who challenge dominant narratives and propose new modes of making, thinking, and relating.

Each issue centers around a theme, inviting contributions that are experimental in form and critical in content. We value slowness over scale, context over content, and conversation over conclusion.

Alongside these thematic publications, Special Issue s also acts as a living catalogue of contemporary creatives—mapping practices that are thoughtful, interdisciplinary, and grounded in social and material awareness.



Special Issue s is less a publication than a proposition:

That design is not neutral.
That form is never without politics.
That publishing can be a space for collective study.

We welcome proposals, collaborations, and gentle disruptions.
