(Un)Commoning Voices and (Non)Communal Bodies

<p><em>(Un)Commoning Voices and (Non)Communal Bodies</em> takes as its starting point the project (Un)Commoning Voices and (Non)Communal Bodies, curated by Sheleff and Spies for Reading International, UK (2019), which included artworks and workshops by Zbyněk Baladrán, Željka Blakšić, Marco Godoy, Chto Delat/Dmitry Vilensky, Noam Inbar and Nir Shauloff, Jamila Johnson-Small/Last Yearz Interesting Negro and Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome, Mikhail Karikis, Tali Keren, Public Movement, Michal Oppenheim, Rory Pilgrim, Jack Tan, Nina Wakeford and Katarina Zdjelar.</p> <p>Looking back at the project from within the pandemic’s viral choreography, with the forced distancing of bodies and further silencing of already marginalized voices, alongside the simultaneous performative enactment of transnational solidarity, the contributors respond to the ongoing crisis within a wider timely context. The publication includes texts by Susanne Clausen, Susan Gibb, Edgar Schmitz, Maayan Sheleff and Dr Sarah Spies, and a transcription of a conversation between Florian Malzacher, Maayan Sheleff and Jonas Staal.</p>
