A bordering line looping around with itself

“To connect idea with value,
sensation with intuition,
cortex with cerebellum.”

—Ursula K. LeGuin,
“Myth and Archetype in Science Fiction”

Mycelium knows no border. Thus, this is a borderless project. celium believes in a world where people are free to move across borders as they please, without papers and surveillance. celium will try to bring this world into being. From paper to chat rooms, farms to cities, imagination to reality, sound to text, celium fosters habitats for the growth and flourishing of all who seek liberation from restrictive borders. 

As such, celium stands firmly in support of Palestinian sovereignty, and is committed to the Palestinian Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). celium is committed to repairing the world, and BDS is one facet of that. 

celium is part anticapitalist publisher, part creative ecosystem, and part redistributive art project. It is not a nonprofit organization. celium operates according to the following principles:

Mutualism

celium is dedicated to the flourishing of all participants.

Slow Growth

celium grows responsively and at its own pace.

Multiplicity

celium creates many pathways for engagement.

Roots

celium remains nimble and ethically rooted by operating outside the literary establishment.
