From Antarctica and the deserts of the US-Mexico border, to a Siberian whale-killing station and the alleyways of Taipei, these dispatches describe a world in perpetual motion (even when it is 'locked-down'). To travel, we are reminded, is to embrace the experience of being a stranger - to acknowledge that one person's frontier is another's home.

It features: Jason Allen-Paisant remembers the trees of his childhood Jamaica from his home in Leeds Carlos Manuel Alvarez navigates Cuba's customs system Eliane Brum travels from her home in the Brazilian Amazon to Antarctica in the era of climate crisis Francisco Cantu and Javier Zamora : a former border guard travels to the US-Mexico border with a former undocumented migrant who crossed the border as a child Jennifer Croft 's richly illustrated essay on postcards and graffiti, inspired by Los Angeles Bathsheba Demuth visits a whale-hunting station on the Bering Strait, Russia Sinead Gleeson visits Brazil with Clarice Lispector Kate Harris with the Tinglit people of the Taku River basin, Alaska Artist Roni Horn on Iceland Emmanuel Iduma returns to Lagos in his late father's footsteps, Nigeria Kapka Kassabova among the gatherers of the ancient Mesta River, Bulgaria Taran Khan with Afghan migrants in Germany and Kabul Jessica J.
