AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Featuring the works of thirty four authors, artists, arts and cultural historians, from around the world and across urban and regional Australia, the inaugural anthology issue of Arts Features International literary arts anthology journal, addresses themes of artistic, social, cultural and technological change, in a time of major historical evolutionary transition. From the displacement and shock of transitioning from the ‘private’ timeless zone of writing to the public zone of ‘virtual reality’ and publishing via computer, to social media and digital arts production arises the need to gather together to defend our humanity, and environment, and speak in a polyphony individually together.'
