25 Inevitable Transitions

Editorial

The first inspiration for the .dpi 25 theme Inevitable Transitions was the environment: concern for global warming and the de-regulation of industries that impact it negatively. The other main inspiration was drawn from the direct action occurring around the world in opposition to forces that bolster the political, economic, and environmental status quo. To step back and think critically about the timing of these things and what it means, evokes the feeling that we are at the threshold of great change, movement from one significant point in time to another or, an inevitable transition. The enormous groundswell of activity by individuals and movements around the world, particularly since the Arab Spring, speaks loud and clear about the issues.
