(Observatory of Radical Empathies)

cambiarelaguaanuestrofavor (turningthewaterstoourfavor) is the first edition of the Observatory of Radical Empathies.

This zine is the first publication in a larger body of work named A Study of Beaverness by artist Marianne Hoffmeister and collaborators. It explores a beaver-centered imaginary and proposes an encounter with a piece of wood carved by a beaver as an unreadable inscription. 

From this encounter emerges an attempt to imagine a shared language, developed throughout the publication as a speculative typeface derived from beaver tooth marks.
