This week we feature two stories from Issue V of Debris Magazine Prismatic Joy, co-edited by Mariam Ella Arcilla and Jazz Money, which is an explosion of colour and nuanced storytelling. Content Warning: This week’s stories contain references to a war zone and to gambling.
Acidic Cuts
During her trip to Ukraine, Kiera searches for the harmony of the tradition, and tries to avoid the discordance of fear and air raid sirens. This piece featured recordings captured by Kiera in the Ukraine, in 2024. Written and performed by Kiera Brew Kurec with Sound design by Lana Lusina. Click here to check out more of Kiera‘s work.
Note/Correction:
A MiG can launch a hypersonic missile which takes only minutes to reach Lviv. A TU-95 launching a cruise missile from the Caspian Sea would take longer to reach Lviv.
St Elaine
In our next story, George’s narrative follows Elaine, who finds joy through a prismatic vengeance on pokie machines. Written and performed by George Haddad. Find more of George’s work here.
With sound design by Zac Pennington.
