Hayden's Ferry Review presents our Summer 2024 Web Issue, Futurism as Resistance. Inspired by the evocative words of Etel Adnan, "Writing is the power of memory come to life. It brings us back to what we lost, what we thought we forgot." The writers and artists featured delve into the intersections of memory, liberation, and diversity as forms of resistance against an uncertain future. Their work aims to uncover the transformative power of memory in shaping our understanding of the past and navigating the complexities of the present, using it as a tool for resistance against erasure and oppression.
