Momentarily: Learning from Mega-Events began with a shared interest in the impacts of the 2010 Olympic Games on Vancouver, at a time when this city has been noted as especially livable. This project exists within several forms, each increasingly visible: a residency, an exhibition that commissioned two new works, a symposium with more than thirty speakers, and now this publication. Through multiple textual forms — from semi-fiction to interview to theoretical historical examination this publication explodes first doubts and curiosities.

Curated by Ala Younis for Makan Art Space, it features new and existing works by:
Banu Cennetoğlu (Turkey)
Mohssin Harraki (Morocco)
Maha Maamoun (Egypt)
Evariste Richer (France)
Oraib Toukan (Jordan)
General Idea (Canada)
