Errant Journal is a cultural/political publication loosely inspired by Édouard Glissant´s notion of the Poetics of Relation in which he opposes ideas of centers, linearity, roots and dichotomy. Errant, meaning both ‘deviating from an accepted norm’ and ‘wandering’, represents a way of breaking free from the idea of identity based on origin and the possibility to possess a totality of knowledge. It is never the goal to know everything, to see and understand something in its entirety. Instead, a person who is ‘errant’ rejects the universal and challenges the idea that the world is transparent and explainable.

Errant Podcast is an extension of Errant Journal and is a way of doing research and building solidarities across networks and disciplines. It allows conversations with contributors about a topic related to an issue of Errant, or something completely separate that is of interest or has urgency. The podcast also features a wide variety of activists, artists, and researchers that have not (yet) contributed to the journal.
