The publication accompanies the exhibition by The Miracle Workers Collective at the Finnish Alvar Aalto Pavilion in the framework of the 58th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. It includes commissioned essays and poetry by writers close to the collective as well as by members of the collective itself.
