This paper narrates the creation and evolution of the International Journal of Education and the Arts, focusing on the interplay of key characters, their motivations and aspirations. Metaphors for this journal, from oxygen of the profession to that of a vital, interdependent organism, allude to the lived experience of editing within an evolving international academic culture. The non-verbal quality of tuned listening, central to the experience of editing, is conveyed in an Authentic playing/Movement video and subsequently explored for its artistic, sensorial, and multidisciplinary affordances.
