On August 13, 2015, in the e-flux headquarters in New York’s Lower East Side, Léopold, alongside contributors and friends Sadia Shirazi, geunsaeng ahn, and Minh-Ha T. Pham, launched The Funambulist magazine, after five years of existence of The Funambulist as a blog (and later, a podcast). Ten years later, we propose an issue to celebrate this anniversary and take a pause to reflect on our trajectory. Rather than engaging in a self-congratulatory exercise, this September-October 2025 issue favors an introspective one, insisting on what we could have done better this past decade. This is how we asked ten loyal readers (some of whom are also contributors to the magazine) to play the role of editors in this issue, and commission a piece on a topic they feel has been remarkably missing from our first 60 issues’ editorial line.
