One of today's most important documentary filmmakers, Alanis Obomsawin has dedicated her life's work to shining a light on the injustices experienced by Canada's Indigenous peoples. This retrospective monograph features an extensive interview with Obomsawin and includes images and written reflections on her entire career, including her most recent series devoted to the rights of Indigenous children. Never shying away from controversy, Obomsawin's films have played a critical role in exposing ongoing systemic bias toward Indigenous populations-from fishing rights and education to health care and treaty violations. Obomsawin is also a graphic artist, and she incorporates her often dream-inspired etchings and prints into many of her films. The book includes illuminating essays exploring Obomsawin's practice and mission as well as personal commentary from collaborators, archival material, and photographs from the filmmaker's personal life and professional practice. As Obomsawin approaches her ninth decade of life-fifth behind the camera-this beautifully illustrated record of her astounding body of work is an inspiring celebration of the power of film to change the course of history. Authors include Karrmen Crey, Richard Fung, Monika Kin Gagnon, Candice Hopkins, Jessica L. Horton, Elizabeth Povinelli, Lisa Steele, and Jesse Wente.

The modern city always exerts a semiotic bombardment: we are surrounded on all sides by a pictographic labyrinth, whether in notices, posters, graffiti or advertising. But with the use of digital cameras and GPS receivers, this bombardment can be turned into a tool for creativity, for the pursuit of chance associations and synchronicities. In "Signs of the City," teenagers and young adults in Barcelona, Berlin, London and Sofia do just that, with the aid and encouragement of professional artists. The book is the result of a project that lasted one year, incorporating workshops, online activities, conferences and exhibitions, and that initiated a network between over 30 institutions. The perspectives that emerge from the lenses of these teenagers and young adults are of course fresh and surprising, and offer new takes on the four European metropolises, through the most innovative possibilities of data processing.

Bildungsschock (Education Shock) takes a look at the ramifications of the "Sputnik shock" of 1957. After the Soviet Union outmaneuvered the West with its unexpected success in the space race, education expanded on a global scale so as to cope with the "global educational crisis" in the postwar order. Under pressure from demographic and technological developments, social movements, and cultural changes, learning itself, but also spaces for learning were conceived and planned anew. In cooperation with artists, scholars, and architects, Tom Holert examines an era of reforms, experiments, and upheavals that current debates should rediscover as an archival resource. The richly illustrated volume accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin, in the fall of 2020.
