The Palliative Turn Magazine

The Palliative Turn magazine is dedicated tot the activities of the Association for the Palliative Turn (APT), which has been around since 2020 or 2019, depending on how you define 'association' and 'being around'. The Palliative Turn proposes a fundamental shift in our attitude towards art and culture, informed by the practices of palliative medicine and care.

APT is made up of a disparate group of professionals, mostly visual artists, but it also counts a climate scientist, a kineologist, a palliative practitioner, a philosopher, a doctor, and a comedian as members, who all define themselves as 'palliatively curious'. This curiosity has resulted so far in an APT symposium, two large group exhibitions, as wel as multifarious off-shoot events, discussions, appearances and now this publication. Collected within these pages are reflections on the Palliative Turn as a proposition in the form of essays, reports on APT activities, exercises, comics, jokes and thought experiments. We hope you enjoy it!
