BlackFlash Magazine is a platform for contemporary visual art. BlackFlash is dedicated to presenting critical opinions, urgent issues, and innovative ideas about divergent artistic practices from across Canada, the United States and beyond. Each issue includes feature articles, profiles, interviews, and artist projects from a diverse selection of artists, writers, and curators. 

This issue marks a transition in BlackFlash’s 40-year publishing history. This Fall 2023 issue is the last commissioned by former managing editor Maxine Proctor in collaboration with the magazine’s editorial committee. It is also (as transitions go) the first produced in collaboration with Blackflash’s new managing editor, Jasmin Fookes. A turnover for a staff of one is inevitably a radical change!

Memory, care, and the political economy of the arts sector are themes central to many of the texts included in this issue. Also included are two artist profiles, poems, reflections, photography, and essays for your consideration.
