Agapius Issue Two

£5.00

The long awaited Issue 02  release  opened with essays by Oliver Monk and Kay Basil Fletcher; covering such topics as  the rising tide of private property development that is washing away social housing in the UK capital, as well as China’s lofty political motivations and the pursuit of Lithium extraction to finance the next clean energy age --  whom will it truly be benefitting, and whom will it be leaving behind?

The themes  that connect the monuments of the past to the complex relationships of land and its people in the present, are explored in more disparate places in articles by Charlie Hills, Jack Burke and an anonymous contributor. From a pilgrimage in pointlessness to an abandoned luxury development in the Turkish mountains, to the lost traditions of the Cockney ‘Hopping’ Holiday under rapid gentrification, to an expose on  an  El Salvador  mega-prison  as a symbol of fear and systematic  human rights abuses backed by US complicity.  Further articles examine the relation of folk to fashion, of mined diamonds to their lab-grown counterparts, the weighed value of immigration to London’s bustling restaurant circuit, a mythopoetic portrait of a ceramicist to the narrator writing on them, stories from the bottom of the bottle  to  a meditation on time and craftmanship, and even more so without.
