How to cite this issue: STRATUM. Volume 1, Issue 1 (Issue 001). Published 2026-01-15.


Issue 001 opens STRATUM at the pre-categorical interval, where cultural memory first appears in rehearsals, late-night notes, fragmentary videos, and quiet conversations, long before it reaches programs, archives, or library records. 


This first issue gathers works that resist neat resolution, moving between choreography and cinema, fieldwork and myth, correspondence, ritual, and speculative research. 


We publish on the tempo of the work, prioritizing sustained attention over constant production, so each contribution can remain shareable, citable, and carried forward without being reduced to a single discipline or market logic.
