Imago is a “theory annual” of nonfiction published by Locust Review and the Locust Arts & Letters Collective (LALC). To subscribe to Imago, and we highly encourage you to do so, you need to subscribe to Locust Review. In addition to the annual printed issue, we will be posting periodic articles and blog posts by LALC comrades and fellow travelers on the website. When we began the process of launching Locust Review in late 2019 we wanted to put an emphasis on artistic practice. When we founded Locust, we had a particular aesthetic strategy and task in mind, using critical irrealism — a wide and varied kind of aesthetic estrangement — against capitalist realism. We saw that capitalism was strangling our abilities to imagine alternatives. We wanted to weaponize our imaginations against that stultification. While shifting toward practice has been important to us, theory remains important. The fascist threat has grown. New questions arise. New radical imaginaries are created in the streets and struggles. Forgotten dreams are resurrected. Therefore, we decided in 2020 to begin work on a theory annual for Locust Review. To contact us email us at locust.review@gmail.com.
