The ways in which we are situated in time comes to be reflected in how we think about, talk about and conceptualise the community, world, and universe around us
Rasheedah Phillips, Ed, Black Quantum Futurism: Theory & Practice,(Vol.1).
Can’t no see me, no flex, be kind
Dollars never show up on CP time

No one questions what time it is.
The present moment is fleeting but ever-present. In a linear conception of time – which is built into the English language (among others) – our behaviour and thought, what has happened in the past is fixed, while the future is unreachable until it passes us by. Where does time come from? Is it within us? Does it exist without us?
The measurement of time structures the economy.
It could be argued that time in its current capacity, arrived on this continent with the first fleet, and publicly acknowledged through the construction of the Hyde Park Barracks clock tower on unceded Gadigal lands – the first public timekeeping device to exist on this continent, used to structure the labour and movement of convicts and militia.
Time is the origin of property.
In real estate the future is artificially constructed, written on balance sheets decades in advance of occurring. This is an attempt to eliminate the uncertainty of reality, to instrumentalise and extract value from time in the form of a mortgage.
Time is a political tool used to position particular claims, peoples and places in the past. The spatialisation of race through time has been used and continues to be used to legitimise a right of whiteness to the political present, as well as resources and territory in colonial conquest.
For issue 44, Runway Journal is inviting proposals that respond to the notion of time.
To Consider:
Time is 12.25 pm
Time is present
Time is fleeting
Time is an illusion
Time is relative to the observer
Time bends with mass
Time is gravity?
Time is a construct
Time is constant
Time arrived by boat
Time mapped the globe
Time dilates
Time is taken unapologetically
Time is given generously
Time is the origin of property
Time is exploited through a mortgage
Time is strata (geological, societal)
Time is money
Time is a political tool
Time is a measurement
Time is a feeling
Time is different if you’re a single mum on the bus
Time is a luxury
Time is how we structure the economy
Time is scarce
Time is a flat circle?
Time is running out
Time is made up shit
Time is linear
Time travel only works if you’re white... (H.G. Wells)
Time travel makes sense if you have PTSD (Octavia Butler)
Time perception depends on your metabolism
Time destroys all worlds
Time is decay
Time is growth
Time is change
