The light through shards
The light through shards
“To all those we are indebted to” brings together poetry, critical writing, image-making, drawing, and song in a multidisciplinary series that examines the politics of refusal in Palestine. Composed of four contributions assembled through paired collaboration, the contributors explore and develop novel ways of producing knowledge.
Alia Al-Sabi and Amany Khalifa take apart Palestinian 'return' through a conversation that unfolds across literary, temporal, and spacial registers. Amr Amer and Laura al-Tibi weave together song and critical analysis, unsettling colonial conceptions of Palestinians' relationship to their land economically and existentially. Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme present a comprehensive hypothesis of the “negative,” unfolding across poetry, images, and illustration. Adam Haj Yahia and Haitham Haddad formulated an aesthetic theory of revolt, examined through text, images, and illustration. By focusing on the interplay between text and artistic form, “To all those we are devoted to” proposes new methods of thinking and creating, aesthetically and politically. (Bilna'es)
