Since day one, we have embraced madness (or is it clairvoyance?) as a spark of eccentricity in the pages of the magazine, but also as a form of resistance to a dictated and oppressive normality. So what makes us different? Are we really the crazy ones? The hysterical? The unfit? How come madness feels sane and sanity completely deranged? In our collapsing democracies, where dissent is pathologized, what is considered madness is madness is pushed further and further to the margins. And to us, many so-called “mad” individuals feel actually more attuned to reality than those who call themselves sane. For its new issue, CARCY navigates the chaos and layered paradoxes of madness — which one can also approach through its complementary mirror: mental health.
