To be in control is to be in charge—to have the ability or authority to manage or direct things. Shift literally speaks of a move, a change in position, direction, and composition or circumstances. For the 7th issue of Ctrl+P and considering the controls and shifts that impact our lives, Varsha Nair, issue editor, invited contributors, artists, authors and curators, to speak about straddling places/teetering on the edge /being caught in-between; from rural to urban; rooted one moment, uprooted the next; between torment and pleasure; between in/out. Contributions to this issue are Alice and Rosy in Wanderland by Estelle Cohenny Vallier; To Alif, Gopali and Riham -Another Visa. Pleasure in Life is Reduced to This by Mona Bur; Travels through 1001 Nights Cast by Barbara Campbell; A Chronicle of My Last Twelve Years by Karla Sachse; In Time and Space by HERS Group; Out of Time by Adania Shibli; Unfinished Business by Jerome Ming; Causality (re)Cycles: A Community-based Recycling Program at Smokey Mountain, Metro Manila by Marlyne Sahakian; and Options On by Liliane Zumkemi.
