All Issues

This issue traces the intersecting currents of displacement, memory, and resistance through artistic and political expressions across geographies marked by violence, exile, and erasure. From the ruptured lifelines of Khartoum to the haunting silences of Balochistan, contributors reflect on the human cost of state abandonment and brutality. Reviews of BAK’s Climate Propagandas Congregation and the 5th OFF-Biennale Budapest engage with how art contends with global crises—from climate collapse to creeping fascism—while interviews with Amol K. Patil, Rebecca Simons & Aija Svensson delve into the intimate languages of resistance that emerge from caste, labour, and trauma. Together, these contributions reckon with the fragile architectures of home, memory, and survival.

This issue examines the entangled struggles against the many forms of ongoing colonial violence in settler states and the states and institutions in complicity with them. It features conversations on Indigenous climate justice in Brazil and Palestine, student-led movements disrupting university complicity in genocide, and the strategic weaponisation of ruins in state politics. Essays examine the queering of Palestinian resistance as a colonial tool, the diasporic negotiation of memory and identity in contemporary art, and the intellectual legacies of Coptic thinkers imagining futures beyond imposed binaries. Also included are reviews of Uzair Amjad’s exhibition, The Terrain Between, and Pradeepan Raveendran’s Soundless Dance.
