A farsang is an old Persian measurement of distance: the amount you can walk in a day. Moving in the 21st century is complicated. The vast majority of the global population, even in the age of boundless budget travel and overtourism, can’t move freely. FARSANG takes these facts seriously with no sugar-coating. We hope to provide a home for critical writing about the dark sides of modern travel, alongside more colourful looks at cultures near and far.
