A photographic exploration of the Soviet monotowns - urban settlements erected around single industries in the hinterlands of the former USSR -; some thriving, others struggling to survive, still others partially abandoned.

Summary:
Frustrated by Morocco’s rigid educational system of the 1990s, art teacher Hicham Benohoud used photography as a pedagogical tool, creating a makeshift darkroom in his classroom to foster collaborative and hands-on learning, encouraging students to engage with creativity and identity. The resulting images created with his students are marked by tension and alienation, blending absurdity, humour, and unease in their exquisitely framed and obliquely disarming compositions. In juxtaposing the monotony of the classroom with a visual exploration of both freedom and control, The Classroom builds a playful and existential critique of postcolonial identity, where childlike creative gestures merge into a more ambiguous aesthetic that hints at oppression, violence and isolation.

Summary:
Mapping constellations between five specific pre-colonial cosmological examples extending from the Sahel to the Horn of Africa, this work reframes cosmology as a multi-dimensional and scalable practice of situated technologies and embodied cartographies. The resulting publication which was produced during the Jan van Eyck residency is a culmination of several years of research and exploration into precolonial cosmologies and spatial orders rooted in the African Sahel extending to the Horn of Africa. The (Incomplete) Cosmic Catalogue is an output of a research project that was initially commissioned by the Canadian Centre for Architecture as part of the multi-disciplinary research fellowship, The Digita Now: Architecture and Intersectionality in 2022.

Summary:
TURBA is the first journal for the study, theory, and praxis of curatorial strategies in the live arts. The live arts are broadly defined as those arts in which contingent, momentary acts and events, performed by human or other autonomous agents, are crucial to the aesthetic perception and the emergence of meaning in ephemeral time-based work. They include, but are not limited to, dance, music, sound art, theatre, performance art, verbal arts, circus arts, live media arts and inter-arts performance works. With this journal, we aim to create a platform for the exploration of ideas, concepts, constraints, expectations, and contingencies which guide and drive curatorial practices in these fields.

Summary:
'From Gardens Where We Feel Secure' is gardener and writer Susanna Grant's exploration of her thinking on history, value and meaning of nature in the city. Examining the premise that naming species allows us to expand our understanding, our interest, our ways of looking at the world around us, and the idea of plant-blindness-our tendency not to see what we can't name in the nature that surrounds us-she throws a spotlight on five of her favourite wildflowers with accompanying images by photographer Rowan Spray. These stories are interspersed with reflections on Grant's own countryside childhood and her work in London's community gardens.

On its surface, the work of Regina Gimenez involves an aesthetic exploration of geometry and colour. Yet it is forged from the observation of what can be described as “subaltern” teaching forms, reflecting an interest in what she calls “popular knowledge”: teaching models based not so much on the established canons but on fictitious registers and domestic resources.

Summary:
On its surface, the work of Regina Gimenez involves an aesthetic exploration of geometry and colour. Yet it is forged from the observation of what can be described as “subaltern” teaching forms, reflecting an interest in what she calls “popular knowledge”: teaching models based not so much on the established canons but on fictitious registers and domestic resources. This exhibition catalogue delves into the dialogue created between Gimenez and a specific work by Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979), ‘Costume de Sport’, a watercolour which she produced in 1925. As this stimulative meeting shows, Delaunay’s work is and always has been a reference for that of Gimenez.
