The second issue of The Muse magazine is presented to you with a firm stance, not on the archives of the state but on our collective memory and social archives. We see this humble endeavour in itself as an archival practice, prioritising spaces of memory as well as collective, creative, and non-traditional archives. With this approach, we invite readers to engage with the archive as a social and creative production practice and a collective approach rather than as a final, unquestionable material.

Guest edited by Sara HagAlhassan with Hassan AlNaser and Reem Aljeally.
