CONTENTcontinent. was founded in 2011 as an experimental publication and collective. For its first ten years, along with its other collaborative activities, it ran as scholarly-format publication or experimental academic journal, organised as subject specific issues and articles by generous and honoured contributors. The events, special editions, issues and other activities we do together are collected here.

CONTINENT. is an experiment in collective public-making, a slow-media platform exploring the notion of détente. For us the delay or pause of détente. is an opening in and of contemporary conditions of labor and love in philosophy, media, art, science, thought, politics, and planetarity. continent. produces events, series, special editions, experimental and research-driven publications, carefully, purposefully infrequently and somewhat irregularly.
