On the WOK.radar

"On the Radar" features materials stemming from our interests and experiences gained at WOK, as well as those accompanying the processes and practices we are developing. We also want to become an amplifier for voices and perspectives that are not often heard or seen clearly enough. Finally, we present texts that delve into concepts frequently used but requiring better understanding—in this way, we hope to elevate the quality of public discourse!
