My Golden Record
by Lauren Billingsley
A golden disc floating through space. A record of life on earth. A meditation on meaning and purpose. A question on how we will be remembered.
"The Voyager spacecraft left our solar system in 1977, carrying with it a 12-inch, gold-plated, copper record. Sent into space to float. I think about the record a lot. All the things it fails to mention"
my mum told me not to marry an atheist
by Amina Beg and James Baker
Amina and James try to navigate faith, spirituality and consciousness in a world consumed by the dunya, as Saudi launches 'The Mecca Line' a continuous linear skyscraper that wraps around the earth from one side of the Ka'bah to the other.
