Book Release and panel discussion

with Diedrich Diederichsen, Jan Tumlir, Jonathan Kroll and Kevin Hanley
Hosted by MOTTO
Wednesday, July 2, from 7pm

 
Microinternational is a comprehensive catalogue documenting a performance project that emerged from the interactions of a shifting group of artists in Los Angeles. Active between 1993-1999 and organized by Kevin Hanley and Jonathan Kroll, Microinternational included Kai Althoff, Casey Cook, Francesca Gabbiani, Michael Krebber, Anja Medved, Carlos Mollura, Dave Muller, Frances Stark, Jennifer Steinkamp, and Cosima Von Bonin among its many participants. This book chronicles an otherwise forgotten “art group” and their projects within the nascent art scene of 1990s Los Angeles.

Includes historical texts by Kevin Hanley and Jonathan Kroll, complemented by new texts from Diedrich Diederichsen, Kevin Hanley, Frances Stark, and Jan Tumlir.

Book Launch: Naseej: Life-Weavings of Palestine

Pluto Press, 2025

Please join us for the launch of Naseej: Life-Weavings of Palestine—the first book project from Insaniyyat (the Society of Palestinian Anthropologists). Naseej, meaning “tapestry” in Arabic, is a book about diverse forms of life, communities, histories and continuities in Palestine. It compiles essays, short stories, poetry, interviews, and visual art to tell an aspect of the Palestinian story that has not been told: the severing of Palestinians from vast and ancient regional histories, and the stifling of its precious patchwork of languages, ethnicities, cultures, religions and practices.

Arriving at a moment of utter devastation – one of the most difficult in Palestinian history – this vibrant collection celebrates the diversity of life in Palestine. From the trajectories of Romani groups to the formations of religious communities like Ahmadiyya Muslims in Haifa, to the political experience of Black Palestinians and much more, Naseej asks what kind of threads remain of this tapestry after some 150 years of modernity and colonialism.

The evening will feature the editors of the book, Arpan Roy and Noura Salahaldeen. The discussion will be led by Refqa Abu-Remaileh and Alexandra Sophia Handal.
