History will probably remember 2020 as a turning point. Globally, the Covid-19 pandemic slowed down the relentless advance of the Anthropocene and cast doubt on the capitalist development model. As guinea pigs of unprecedented confinement strategies on a global scale, our survival depended on the suspension of some of the most basic forms of coexistence. However, precisely because of this, we realized that we cannot exist without others. And even the very definition of ‘others’ has already fallen short. We no longer speak only of the inclusion of minorities and the marginalized, but also of other species: plants, trees, animals, or even a virus. We have coexisted with them all this year. This issue of ARQ is a space to make these various forms of coexistence visible.
