Welcome to T H E | L I M I N A L

the art of living in the betwixt and between

In anthropology, liminality describes an ambiguous threshold, neither here nor there; previous ways of being dissolve as new ones emerge.

It is also a space of immense creativity, possibility, and social transformation.

I began writing T H E | L I M I N A L newsletter in January 2020 as an effort in maintaining sanity and connection while writing my PhD dissertation in anthropology. It was also, unwittingly, at the very beginning of a global pandemic.

Since then, “liminal” has become somewhat of a catchphrase for our times, used to describe the not-yet and potentiality of all that we are facing in our built and natural worlds—our relationships with work, our bodies, our politics, our planet, art, and one another.

T H E | L I M I N A L is a curation of musings, resources, essays and thoughtpieces sourced at the intersections of anthropology, literature, art, science and somatics. Each issue centers upon a theme, scaffolded by resources, exclusive writings, and tools to connect the month’s inquiry with your own body + life.

Thank you for being here.
