'I favour to look at archives non-chronologically,' writes Ibraaz Contributing Editor Ala Younis, 'Partly because of impatience and un-imagination, but mainly because I do not want archives/collections to be didactic through the logic of relatedness...'

'This essay is not about the politics of terminology,' writes Ibraaz Senior Editor Stephanie Bailey in her closing editorial for Platform 010, 'as much as it is about the histories to which regional terminologies are bound, and the processes that occur in and around their making.'
