À l'origine, il y a Paris. Et un flâneur infatigable qui explore ses deux rives depuis des années. De cette expérience amoureuse, il a distillé au fil des jours 100 cartes incongrues. 100 cartes pour dire tout ce qu'on ne sait pas. 100 cartes pour rêver tout ce qu'on ne voit pas. À l'origine, il y a Paris. Et un flâneur infatigable qui explore ses deux rives depuis des années. De cette expérience amoureuse, il a distillé au fil des jours 100 cartes incongrues. Sur chacune se dessine une vision : on y découvre ainsi toutes les rues depuis lesquelles on peut apercevoir la Tour Eiffel, celles où les barricades avaient été installées lors de la Commune de 1871, les quartiers définis selon la provenance de l'eau dans votre robinet, les îles disparues que l'on trouvait autrefois sur la Seine, le trajet du premier vol habité (en montgolfière)... Cet "Atlas inutile" est une invitation graphique à un voyage poétique, à la rencontre de choses oubliées, et d'autres qui sont sous notre nez sans qu'on y prête attention. Les cartes se succèdent et s'accumulent dans un plaisir du détail, de l'anecdote et de la contemplation, enfin dans une balade à travers l'inutile, à la (re)découverte d'une ville cent fois immense.

Summary:
When Minnette De Silva founded the Studio of Modern Architecture in Kandy, Sri Lanka (then Ceylon), in 1947, she was one of the first women in the world to establish a professional architectural practice as sole principal. Today, she is known for her designs and constructions of private residences and public institutions, settlement planning, experiments in building and handicraft, research, curation, and writing. Her practice treated architecture as a lived experience and a contemporary expression of heterogeneous pasts. ''Minnette De Silva: Intersections'' offers a richly illustrated critical introduction to De Silva’s practice, exploring a range of projects through the intersecting intellectual concerns that shaped her work. Archival materials, drawings, photographs, and extracts from De Silva’s memoir, ''The Life and Work of an Asian Woman Architect'', describe her diverse work in a career situated in Sri Lanka and informed by substantial engagements with India, England, Greece, Hong Kong, and elsewhere. Drawing on modernist architectural techniques and material heritage practices, De Silva forged a distinctive, critically engaged aesthetic program and set of values. This book by architectural historian Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi, researched with Methmini Kariyakarawana and others, offers a primer to the thought and production of one of the twentieth century’s most significant architects and cultural figures.

Summary:
Under the shadow of gray clouds, three children venture into the woods, where they spot the corpse of an old man on a scaffold. Suddenly a wild figure emerges, with long fingernails and tangled hair. It is the Hattak fullih nipi foni, the bone picker, who comes to tear off rotting flesh with his fingernails. Only the Choctaws who adhere to the old ways will speak of him. The frightening bone picker is just one of many entities, scary and mysterious, who lurk behind every page of this spine-tingling collection of Native fiction, written by award-winning Choctaw author Devon A. Mihesuah. Choctaw lore features a large pantheon of deities. These beings created the first people, taught them how to hunt, and warned them of impending danger. Their stories are not meant simply to entertain: each entity has a purpose in its behavior and a lesson to share-to those who take heed.

Summary:
Monogamy has played a central role in modernity, shaping our concepts of love, relationships, and family. In ''Monogamous Mind, Polyamorous Terror'', Spanish writer Brigitte Vasallo explores how mechanisms of love are deeply rooted in societal and individual norms, rather than being freely chosen. Originally published in Spanish and now a global bestseller, this groundbreaking text reveals how the notions of state, nation, and identity – founded on codes of exclusivity, possession, and hierarchy – are intertwined with monogamy. Drawing on extensive historical research through the lens of social and affective organisation, Vasallo challenges one of the most entrenched pillars of Western society. She unveils the potential for a radical transformation in our relationships – whether erotic, familial, or communal – pointing towards a new, inclusive approach for a different world.

Summary:
Yorgos Lanthimos’s filmography, lauded for its ambitious world-building and absurdist explorations of human relations, has established him as one of the most distinctive auteurs in contemporary cinema.?i shall sing these songs beautifully draws on his renowned visual language to tell a haunting new story through photographs Lanthimos made on the set of his latest feature,?"Kinds of Kindness" (2024), inhabiting an ambiguous space between the real locations of New Orleans and the otherworld of cinema. Interwoven throughout are new texts by Lanthimos which evoke the fragmented lyricism of Sappho, from whose poetry the book takes its title. Lanthimos makes all his photography, both still and moving, on analogue film, relishing the creative intimacy the medium involves. These previously unseen colour and black-and-white images became a part of the formation of his new film's world. Here, they become fragments that elaborate an entirely new story, rich with the tensions and unsettling atmospheres that Lanthimos has made his own.

Summary:
In this book, curator Michelle White considers the unique and timely implications of how the artist Tacita Dean draws. Covering over three decades of work, from sweeping chalk landscapes to fleeting celestial phenomena on film, White proposes that the artist approaches drawing as an indeterminate journey of fate and folly, chance and medium. She argues that Dean’s strategy of adopting blindness to make an image is an urgent response to our culturally, technologically, and ecologically unstable moment. The text, illustrated with more than forty images, is based on seven years of conversations between the author and the artist.

Summary:
On the outbreak of the war in Gaza in October 2023, Melani McAlister began to use her journal to track the rapid development of the conflict and the parallel evolution in the ways it was represented in the US media. Drawing on McAlister’s decades of experience as a scholar of US–Middle East relations, as well as her personal history in activism, this incisive and dynamic text traces the devastating development of the current war in real time, identifying echoes with previous moments in the history of the region and the protests and artistic responses they prompted. This series of meditations explores the enduring power of narrative and memory, threading throughout the work of Arab and Arab American poets and musicians to tell a story of Palestinian resistance and resilience. ''Promises, Then the Storm'' is a reflection on the significance of Palestinian liberation at a moment when it has never been more urgently at stake – one that reckons with possibilities for justice and equality and the hopes carried by activists and artists, against all odds, into the future.
