Hello, and welcome to rivulet 8: billows. The pieces in this issue hold tight focus on individual figures and reflect back broad entangled communities, life worlds, intimacies. These works glint at the edges, gaze back, peer in, are caught suspended in relational vectors between organisms, meteorological elements, and material encasement.

In this issue, we're pleased to share:

   a parenthetical, translated elegy navigating loss and glimpses of what remains;
   a ten-part feast tracing labor and leisure, territorialized identity and racialized gendered performance;
   billowing garments over cracked sand, tall grass, unlit rooms;
   virtually installed videos within videos charting fire, water, wind, and hair.
