The highly anticipated second volume to the widely acclaimed and
celebrated self-portrait series, Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark
Lioness
Riots are extraordinary events that have been recurring with increasing frequency and occupy a highly controversial space in the political imagination. Despite their often negative portrayals, it is undeniable that riots have played a pivotal role in the confrontation between authority and dissent. Recently, with the deepening crises of capitalism, racial violence, and communal tension, an "age of riots" has powerfully begun. As master fictions of the sovereign nation-state implode, and the hegemonic silencing of the dispossessed reveals the cracks in governability, Nights of the Dispossessed: Riots Unbound brings together artistic works, political texts, critical urban analyses, and research projects from across the world in an endeavor to "sense," chronicle, and think through recent riots and uprisings-evoking a phenomenology of the multitude and surplus population. With contributions from Asef Bayat, Joshua Clover, Vaginal Davis, Keller Easterling, Zena Edwards, Nadine El-Enany, Dilip Parameshwar Gaonkar, Gauri Gill, Natasha Ginwala, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Louis Henderson, Satch Hoyt, Hamid Khan, Gal Kirn, Josh Kun, Leopold Lambert, Margit Mayer, Vivek Narayanan, Ai Ogawa, Oana Parvan, Elizabeth A. Povinelli, SAHMAT, Thomas Seibert, Niloufar Tajeri, Chandraguptha Thenuwara, Dariouche Tehrani, and Ala Younis.
One of Pakistan’s most notable contemporary artists, Bani Abidi creates videos and multimedia works that interweave autobiographical fiction with socio-political commentary and satire. Her practice explores the sobering realities of the political conditions, bureaucracy, and urban infrastructure in Asia, exposing the absurdities emerging from the dysfunctionalities of everyday life. The Artist Who is the first monograph to look at the work of this Berlin-based Pakistani artist. Envisioned as an artist project, the publication explores notions of humor, playfulness and experimentation by engaging with forms of writing, design, printing, and assembly. Containing a documentation of artworks created over two decades as well as archival material and a rich selection of texts, it represents the wide range of relationships Abidi has fostered during this period.
Ganesh Haloi (1936), an artist of the 20th century, born in Jamalpur, Mymensingh (now in Bangladesh) moved to Calcutta after the Partition in 1950. In his life practice, Ganesh Haloi has cultivated a singular vocabulary of abstraction and landscape. Ganesh Haloi: The Feeling Eye documents his latest explorations of gouache on paper through images and thoughtful writings that reverberate with his artistic practice. It has notes by Haloi that resonate his thoughts about art, creation and life. Essays by noted collector and art aficionado Mukund Lath, curator and writer Natasha Ginwala and publisher and curator Jesal Thacker give a brief insight into the person Ganesh Haloi and his artistic journey.
