This book is published in conjunction with the News from Nowhere project initiated by artists Moon Kyungwon and Jeon Joonho. The project aims to reflect on the current state of artistic practice and society as a whole while also envisioning the future. A major component of the project is the film El Fin del Mundo (The End of the World), which looks at the meaning and role of art in a post-apocalyptic world in which social order has collapsed. In addition, Moon and Jeon collaborated with architects, designers, and scientists on projects dealing with challenges facing the world. The reconstruction of the earthquake and tsunami stricken Tohoku region of Japan is one of the topics explored. The perspectives of scholars from diverse fields, such as literature, science, the humanities, and religion, are also included in this book in the form of writings or conversations.
