In Issue 71, Gabriella Demczuk photographs the 2024 US national conventions, working within and against the boundaries of participation to counter the constructed frames of each party and the spatial organization of power; Sanie Irsay excavates the being and belonging of limestone huts that mark(ed) an incomplete Tatar homecoming to Crimea; Sydney Rose Maubert tends to her grandmother’s garden and to Afro-Indigenous land practice in and across Miami, Cuba, and Haiti in the face of climate gentrification and displacement; Mohamad Nahleh purges the remains of occupation and empire through acts of return, repair, and reconstruction at his family home in southern Lebanon; Divya M. Persaud navigates outlaw geologies from Mars to Palestine, exploring the technological, moral, and legal entanglements of planetary science and militarism; and Faris Shomali resists the settler colonial logics of elimination and fragmentation across archives, reading instead the world-making potential of exhibitions in Nadi Abusaada’s Resurgent Nahda.

Book Fair:
Miss Read Berlin
June 13–15, 2025
Haus der Kulturen der Welt
This year, Miss Read continues its shared exploration into decolonizing Art Book Fairs, and is committed to nurturing spaces and communities that take into consideration the richness and breadth of publishing from around the world. In this context, this year’s Miss Read will have a special focus on Ecological Publishing.
“The best book I’ve read in the past year is Deserts Are Not Empty, edited by Samia Henni. It’s an incredible collection of essays, conversations and poems that challenge the portrayal of deserts as barren, lifeless voids. The book explores the geopolitical implications of this narrative, revealing how colonial and imperial powers have weaponised the notion of emptiness to justify exploitation and control.”
