The Against Nature Journal is a biannual arts and human rights magazine edited by Council, exploring how the notion of “against-nature” crimes is used in the legal texts of more than 60 countries to punish same-sex relationships and LGBTQI+ communities. It brings together visual arts, creative writing, poetry, journalism, activism and social sciences to foster dialogue on sexual and reproductive rights and rethink nature anew.

On the occasion of Offprint and after focusing on spirituality and migration, The Against Nature Journal launches its third issue which explores how the theory and practice of medicine has pathologized non-procreative sexual desire, as well as bodies refusing gender binarism. T.A.N.J. 3 talks about reproductive justice, trans and intersex lives, plural healing and the need to decolonize health practices and institutions.
