Prismatic Joy

All The Best

Content Warning: This week's stories contain references to a war zone and to gambling.

This week we feature two stories from Issue V of Debris Magazine: Prismatic Joy, co-edited by Mariam Ella Arcilla and Jazz Money, which is an explosion of colour and nuanced storytelling.

Acidic Cuts

During her trip to Ukraine, Kiera searches for the harmony of the tradition, and tries to avoid the discordance of fear and air raid sirens.

Written and performed by Kiera Brew Kurec. This piece featured recordings captured by Kiera in the Ukraine, in 2024.

Sound design by Lana Lusina, find more of her work at https://lanalusina.carrd.co/.

St Elaine

In our next story, George’s narrative follows Elaine, who finds joy through a prismatic vengeance on pokie machines.

Written and performed by George Haddad. Find more of George's work at https://georgehaddad.net/.
