HeartCore #12 NARRATIVES
HeartCore #12 NARRATIVES
We are so happy and proud to launch the 12th edition of HeartCore. Our theme this time came about during a conversation among the editorial staff about how much stories matter to the LGBTI+ community – and how NARRATIVES shape our understanding of ourselves and others. That fact is of course not unique to the LGBTI+ community. I think it’s true for most of us that storytelling lays the foundation for how we perceive the world and, most importantly, our place in it.
Happy reading!
