Just as title hints, We Contain Multitudes is a publication that invites to openly and critically engage with multitudes of artistic learning methods such as listening, talking, researching, voicing, questioning and collaborating. There are 6 sections in the book that are separated by the kind of paper. Just as this book is about multiple voices, other voices, voices that have been neglected, these different paper sections are meant to represent a different voice. We liked many aspects of this book: the small format, that feels simple and honest; the collaborative part was present in the process of making this publication and in what this publication represents, the vinyl cover with the illustrations, the way voices are being spoken with through typography and the multitude of the form of the book, as the introduction to the book is hearable online on the website.
