Additional notes: ON COLLECTIVITIES AND EDITORIAL FRAMEWORKS
• How effectively and in what ways do the collective publication articulate the editorial framework?
• Building from the above question, how coherent is the collective voice?
• How effectively did the collective engage the Medu Art Ensemble?
• In relation to Medu, how does the collective engage the prompts: (What changed? What shifted?
What remains the same? What now?)
• Does the publication/online platform indicate an engaged and deep commitment to unpack, edit,
expand and deepen each content in relation to the editorial
