THE FALL arrives and<br />
by that I mean Autumn,<br />
and with it the <strong>24</strong>th issue<br />
of Red Door Magazine,<br />
with the theme “visualize”,<br />
although somehow<br />
lately feels more like<br />
someone should rub<br />
some alcohol on our<br />
third eye to help us get<br />
some clarity.<br />
What a year!<br />
Wherever you are, I<br />
hope this issue of Red<br />
Door finds you in good<br />
health, surrounded by<br />
creativity and optimism,<br />
if not at least by patience<br />
and strength to cope<br />
with the year of pandemic,<br />
corruption and<br />
climate chaos. In spite<br />
of such strange times,<br />
we must continue. More<br />
than ever, together we<br />
visualize and build our<br />
future!<br />
It is my firm belief that it<br />
is precisely in these times<br />
when we most need to<br />
dedicatedly and fervently<br />
work on our projects,<br />
the documentation of<br />
such projects and those<br />
of our communities, and<br />
the strengthening of the<br />
networks we’ve been<br />
threading, which always<br />
leads to new collaborations,<br />
new opportunities,<br />
and new channels of<br />
open platforms and access<br />
to information even<br />
when everything else<br />
around us seems to be<br />
against such basic practices<br />
of truth, honesty<br />
and freedom.<br />
For this reason, Red<br />
Door continues its collaborations<br />
and search<br />
for stories and projects to<br />
document, both as a virtual<br />
quarterly magazine<br />
as well as a printed magazine<br />
thanks to our collaboration<br />
with Kultivera<br />
in Tranås, distributed at<br />
their location in Sweden,<br />
as well as via mail to all<br />
who order a copy... and<br />
now also on our new location<br />
here in Copenhagen,<br />
Denmark.<br />
Which brings me to the<br />
point I’ve been wanting<br />
to share with you so eagerly.<br />
After a long search<br />
of almost two years since<br />
our old location was<br />
forced to close due to humidity<br />
issues, Red Door<br />
has finally found a home,<br />
in a street called Møllegade,<br />
located in Nørrebro,<br />
a very vibrant area<br />
of the city. The location,<br />
for the past 9 years, was<br />
home to my publishers in<br />
Denmark, Det Poetiske<br />
Bureaus Forlag, so it already<br />
comes with good<br />
vibrations... and there<br />
are bookshops, galleries,<br />
a Litteraturhus & Poesihus,<br />
as well as frequent<br />
cultural events and even<br />
a poetry festival on that<br />
street, so it couldn’t be in<br />
better company. Opening<br />
date is mid October,<br />
but it will be a series of<br />
opening events due to<br />
the current restrictions.<br />
I look forward to having<br />
you visit, hosting<br />
podcasts, workshops,<br />
film-screenings and exhibitions,<br />
and continuing<br />
to provide an independent<br />
platform for arts,<br />
communication and culture<br />
for our communities.<br />
See you there!<br />
-Madam Neverstop.<br />
Opening a gallery in the middle<br />
of a pandemic might not<br />
look like a sound business plan,<br />
but now more than ever, these<br />
independent spaces are necessary<br />
to continue providing<br />
access to information, culture<br />
and entertainment to our communities.<br />
