#46 The Boy
- Meira Ahmemulic
They had cut the umbilical cord, cleaned him, weighed and measured him.
His parents had held him.
- He looks so alive, said his mother.
- The child should be crying, said his father.

- Mairead Case Once I asked my parents for a dictionary. I wanted the boxed kind, navy with a magnifying glass.

#16 Coca-Cola Holy Water
- Paula von SethA local Zambian dance performance with African masks in variations of black and white. The children sob and roar. Their expressions of fear and their screams in a foreign language sink deep down inside me. Why the masks seem to terrify them so, I cannot understand. It is a game, but still and all, it isn't.

#1 "I Have Never Seen A Girl Wearing a Muslim Headscarf on Television Without It Being About The Scarf..."
- A conversation with Rikke Andreassen by Ellen NymanI am at an art exhibition in Germany, watching an educational fi lm on how to use a condom for protection against
AIDS. The film is from South Africa. One of the women at the lesson giggles and smiles shyly, as she pulls a
