Spaces of Care – Confronting Colonial Afterlives in European Ethnographic Museums
Alarming environmental shifts and disasters have raised public awareness and anxieties regarding the future of the planet. While planetary in scale, the negative effects of this global crisis are distributed unequally, affecting some of the already most fragile communities most intensely, thus contributing to rising global inequality. The pairing of environmental crises and a sense of inadequacy facing hitherto celebrated models of citizenry informs a current spirit of the times. The contributors to this volume place ethnographic or world cultures museums at the centre of these debates – these museums have been embroiled in longstanding debates about their histories, collections, and practices in relation to the colonial past.
Dreamland
Prima pubblicazione a cura del collettivo A4C-Arts For The Commons, il volume riflette sul rapporto tra arte e attivismo con una selezione di opere di artisti contemporanei che si sono cimentati con il tema delle migrazioni, della frontiera, della cittadinanza, per offrire strumenti concettuali e visuali con cui leggere la frontiera come luogo di produzione di significato, creazione di "commons", rivendicazione di autodeterminazione e diritti. Il confine diventa così spazio «costituente» tra sovranità e territori, a prescindere dai regimi tracciati arbitrariamente nel corso della storia, immateriale, ma produce narrazioni che contengono in sé il potenziale del proprio superamento.

Moroccan Other-Archives
Winner, 2024 L. Carl Brown AIMS Book Prize in North African Studies Honorable Mention, 2024 MELA Book Awards Finalist, 2024 ASA Best Book Prize Moroccan Other-Archives investigates how histories of exclusion and silencing are written and rewritten in a postcolonial context that lacks organized and accessible archives. The book draws on cultural production concerning the “years of lead”—a period of authoritarianism and political violence between Morocco’s independence in 1956 and the death of King Hassan II in 1999—to examine the transformative roles memory and trauma play in reconstructing stories of three historically marginalized groups in Moroccan history: Berbers/Imazighen, Jew...
