All Issues

In NO NIIN Issue 35, we turn to the legitimacy crisis convulsing the art world as Israel’s genocide in Gaza forces a reckoning with complicity. The issue features a Venice Biennale 2026 dispatch on jurors strong-armed into resigning after trying to exclude Israel; an archive-turned-witness at Amsterdam’s IISH tracing five centuries of solidarity; a review of Rebellion for Future, embedding viewers in Finland’s climate movement; an essay on the diaspora artist’s uneasy status as an “eligible dissident”; an essay on firefighters battling Kurdistan’s Zagros wildfires; a testimony from a Baloch mother who has spent sixteen years demanding her disappeared son’s return; and an essay on Bint Jbeil, the town Israel tried to erase and Lebanon turned into a symbol of resistance; a review of PhotoKTM tracing resistance and solidarity through Nepal’s Gen-Z revolution; a review of steirischer herbst 25 on history as continuum, and a review of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale weighing its claims of friendship and collaboration against its labour practices and accountability; and an interview with Suraj Milind Yengde on the unfinished work of centring the anti-caste struggle.

In our 34th issue, co-edited by NO NIIN and Celeste Magazine, we turn our attention to the art scenes of Brazil, particularly in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The issue features a counter-colonial art studio in Rio’s Pequena África built on radical two-way alliance with historically excluded Black and Indigenous communities; a brotherhood that transforms Afro-diasporic traditions of mutual care into a philosophical framework; and an anti-Zionist Jewish institution that understands its neighbourhood as a co-author of its own history. Also included are a review of the 36th São Paulo Bienal probing the problem of universalism in mega-scale exhibitions, an exploration of Indigenous epistemologies being summoned through curatorial practice, and a ‘plagiarized’ interview with Dora Longo Bahia. The issue closes with an introspective reflection on 15 years of Celeste Magazine.
