Panorama: The Journal of Travel, Place, and Nature is a British literary journal, with a modern focus on travel literature, art, and photography.
We aim to redefine who travels and what travel looks like, as well as to reshape the kinds of journeys–whether real or imagined–that can be narrated through words and images. To us, “travel” is not uniquely a set of experiences and encounters taking place far from home, but also emerges from being attentive to the extraordinary potential of the everyday. In the 21st century, we are all nomads of one kind or another. Panorama exists in order to reflect upon and strengthen that commonality.

I thought about Afrofuturism and African Futurism, dynamic interdisciplinary movements that fuse the arts, Sci-Fi, and science and technology with Black history to imagine a better future, which is the subject of a recent and major exhibition at the Smithsonian/National Museum of African American History & Culture in the USA. I also thought about the airport, both liminal space and portal to possibility.
...In this issue we have work from India, Nigeria, Philippines, Israel, Netherlands, UK, USA, Brazil, South Korea, Thailand, Germany, Italy, and more. In many ways it’s the most diverse publication to date for the breadth of contributions and the people involved.
...Design for Migration is a platform that highlights design projects that deal with migrant issues. Here we speak with the organiser — Matteo Moretti.
October — Willapa Bay, WA: The morning I arrived at a monthlong artist residency, I read from Patricia Highsmith’s journal: What to say about Yaddo? A singularly dull bunch, no big names—though Marc Brandel is interesting. [Reader, she bedded him.] The soul lusts for its own corruption. Highsmith’s woozy yearning electrified my thoughts. Would a fellow resident inspire my soul to lust? Was I capable of inspiration (or corruption) anymore?
