Through these columns m/other voices wishes to open up a space of resonance for the expansion and sharing of the diverse practices and strategies that we adapt, invent, appropriate and encounter in our daily working lives as m/others, thinkers and producers. Topics for reflection may for example include issues reflected also through the m/other voices Field Trips where questions related to how we perform and negotiate the two identities of m/other - producer are investigated through presentations, discussions and the making of new work.
