Hader Halal [With Regards To Presence] / Anti-Geographies of Collective Desire | When The Jackal Leaves The Sun

As part of our Chapter "Tonight the city + + is a tectonic bone radio—, Our ancestors are on every channel + + +" we present "Hader Halal [With Regards To Presence] / Anti-Geographies of Collective Desire" Radio Listening Session & Zine Release (multilingual) with Fehras Publishing Practices, D’EST, Aziza Ahmad, Kenan Darwich, Leila Bencharnia, Nancy Naser Al Deen, Omar Gabriel Delnevo, Sama Ahmadi, Sami Rustom, Suza Husse and Ulrike Gerhardt.

We gather around Hader Halal zine and Fehras’ archival collection of the quarterly magazine "Lotus: Afro-Asian Writings (1968-1993)". Participants read, listen and activate a spirit of solidarity memories together, histories which shaped the cultural and the publishing work behind this magazine and beyond. Hader Halal zine is a testament to the ongoing battle against colonialism and hegemonic structures. The ways in which geography and metaphor intertwine in the context of Palestine serves as a conduit that condenses the aspirations and adversities lived in both Asia and Africa over the past two centuries.
