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 />
