Coming soon: Don’t Disturb My Squares [Greek edition]. Image: How to become a bird by Harrie Liveart.
With disruptions in its core, the short-story collection, Μη μου τα τετράγωνα τάραττε, plays with structures and content, alternates the classic with the experimental short-story and merrily meanders in a hybrid labyrinth.

Aaron Amar Bhamra & Céline Mathieu: Fugue
Fugue is published on the occasion of the eponymous duo exhibition by artists
Aaron Amar Bhamra and Céline Mathieu, presented at Jester in Genk,
Belgium.
The title, derived from the Latin fuga (flight), evokes both
its musical and psychological meanings: a contrapuntal compositional
technique and a state of dissociation. These dual connotations—aural and
mental—resonate throughout the exhibition and this accompanying
publication.
Céline Mathieu’s work moves between the sensory and the conceptual,
integrating multiple media to explore the circulation of thoughts and
materials in relation to specific sites. Aaron Amar Bhamra’s practice
draws on recurring forms and materials to construct evolving personal
and social archives, often reactivating exhibition spaces by engaging
with their historical contexts.
In addition to documenting the exhibition, the publication features an
introduction by Jester’s artistic director Koi Persyn, a visual score of
a sound composition by Charlie Usher, written contributions by Céline
Mathieu, curator Eloise Sweetman, and researcher Johanna Schindler, as
well as a series of analog photographs by Aaron Amar Bhamra. Editing: Afro Xylanthé.

Oceanic imaginaries
Afro Xylanthé edited C.P.R.’s publication “Oceanic imaginaries”.
This publication focuses on the oceans as entities that feel, remember, and connect. In an ecological sense, the oceans are critical zones that demand a shift in our thinking and actions. They are places that harbour suppressed stories, but can also be experienced as spaces of transformation and liberation in which new identities and relationships emerge.

Resilient Bodies: Strategies for Fluid Embodiments
Afro Xylanthé edited C.P.R.’s publication “Resilient Bodies: Strategies for Fluid Embodiments”. This publication deals with different experiences and manifestations of the body: (dis)embodiments in art and life.
Through the current global circumstances, we are not only dealing with (our) viral bodies, vulnerable bodies, and lonely bodies; in attempts to continue life, we manifest ourselves nonstop behind our screens as virtual bodies and data bodies. This creates new life forms, but also more techniques to be controlled, excluded, and manipulated. For much longer we have been dealing with social and political differentiations that are made between bodies that matter and those that would matter less. All over the world, protest is embodied by people assembling and allying in resistance.
What are experimental and emancipating strategies and practices for fluid embodiments? How can we form resistant collective bodies without losing our own subjectivity and fleshy "matter"? How can we think about this from art practice and theory?
This publication focuses on the oceans as entities that feel, remember, and connect. In an ecological sense, the oceans are critical zones that demand a shift in our thinking and actions. They are places that harbour suppressed stories, but can also be experienced as spaces of transformation and liberation in which new identities and relationships emerge.
