HAMSTER is an experimental serial publication supporting critical writing and creative approaches to cultural production in Aotearoa. This is the third in the inaugural HAMSTER trilogy of publications that engages with the idea of a ‘post-truth world’. In our open call we encouraged contributors to consider hacking strategies as lenses through which to explore contemporary creative and cultural practices. Areas of interrogation in issue three include Re-telling, Re-imagining, and Re-membering Histories; Spy vs. Spy: honesty, deception and competition; Non- Fiction as Fiction; Satire, Parody, and Cultural Power-Plays.
