About
Over the last few months, we’ve received a number of enquiries about who we and where we come from. Here’s a bit of background information for the curious…
The Turbulence collective first came together in the (northern-hemisphere) spring of 2006, although many of us knew each other and had worked together before that.
Our number has fluctuated between 7 and 9 members. At times the collective’s tight-knit: small and almost perfectly formed (if not informed). Occasionally it borders on the dysfunctional. More often, it cycles between these two extremes.
We live variously in Berlin, Leeds, London and North Carolina.
To be kept informed about future projects, and to receive Calls for Papers for future publications, sign up to our newsletter (if you have difficulties, write to us at the address below).
Turbulence are: David Harvie, Keir Milburn, Tadzio Mueller, Rodrigo Nunes, Michal Osterweil, Kay Summer and Ben Trott.
We can be contacted at editors[at]turbulence.org.uk
A complete biography of Turbulence articles, texts and statements can be found here.

Who we are
Turbulence is a journal/newspaper that we hope will become an ongoing space in which to think through, debate and articulate the political, social, economic and cultural theories of our movements, as well as the networks of diverse practices and alternatives that surround them. Read more here
