"Among the pages of this issue, you will find writers and artists rushing headlong into what frightens us, diving deep into the mud and the grime to rise again triumphant, if only for a moment. We are honored to be featuring Keith Hamilton Cobb and Mark Hurtubise in this issue, both of whom had the courage to address injustice openly. Likewise, we are honored to be offering readers and viewers an impressive slate of photography, art, poetry, essay, and fiction, exploring the human condition, imagining beyond ourselves into the Other, the unknown." - Erin O'Neill Armendarez, Editor in Chief

"The real premise of Untitled Othello is that only through new, inclusive, and humancentric processes of theater making will we be able to do anything beyond the perpetual recycling of these plays of Shakespeare’s that the American theater sells us constantly as product. We are a product-based society, product and profit, but they sell us Shakespeare again and again. How many productions of Hamlet do you need to see? It’s just another recycling of an old play that you haven’t done any deep work to understand any better or find any greater depth or breadth in than has been done the million times I’ve seen it in my lifetime already....
The Untitled Othello Project is looking at academic institutions to partner with us in hosting residencies where we can engage with students and faculty across disciplines to grow our understanding of who we are with regard to this play at this point in time because it changes from generation to generation from point in time to point in time. How we look at how these plays affect us, how our voices resonate within the play changes, requires time." -Keith Hamilton Cobb |

"The form dictates the shape of my creation, but then the actual work on the stone in which I am carving also influences the shape as well. There is little margin for error in the reductive art of stone carving. My Native American mentors believed that you quietly observe the shape of the rock, see the image within and it will come forth. Try and fail, continue working through a concept until it feels complete – this is what I learned and always keep in mind as I work." - Mark Yale Harris
