To address this disquieting chaos,\u00a0<em>Fragments of Repair,<\/em>\u00a0co-conceptualized by artist and curator Kader Attia with curators and researchers Maria Hlavajova and Wietske Maas, offers a collection of long- and short-form essays, visual essays, and conversations on decolonial repair as both a tool and a tactic of engagement with the current state of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The book, which includes major voices such as that of Souleymane Bachir Diagne and Fran\u00e7oise Verg\u00e8s, develops Attia&#8217;s ongoing inquiry into the possibility of enacting \u201crepair\u201d in the acute context of brokenness, which brings chronic uncertainty, social isolation, exhaustion, loss, and fear into sharper relief. What pathways could repair, rather than return to, past ways? How can we develop collective tools for emancipation and resistance? And, in the face of what is irreparable, how can we meaningfully address wounds and scars, which are deeply tied to European modernity?<\/p>\n<p><em>Fragments of Repair<\/em><br \/>Edited by Kader Attia, Maria Hlavajova and Wietske Maas<br \/>Forthcoming January 2024<br \/>Published by BAK, basis voor actuele Kunst, Utrecht and MIT Press, Cambridge MA<\/p>\n<p>Contributors: Norman Ajari; Kader Attia; Souleymane Bachir Diagne; Maria Hlavajova; Wietske Maas; Catherine Malabou; Olivier Marboeuf; Wayne Modest; Omedi Ochieng; Matteo Pasquinelli; Oleksiy Radynski; Rachael Rakes; David Scott; Rolando V\u00e1zquez; Fran\u00e7oise Verg\u00e8s; Elena Vogman; Eyal Weizman; and Ruth Wilson Gilmore<\/p>\n<p>For pre-orders, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/mitpress.mit.edu\/9780262545327\/fragments-of-repair\/#:~:text=The%20book%2C%20which%20includes%20major,and%20fear%20into%20sharper%20relief.\">MIT Press<\/a> website.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fragments of Repair (forthcoming early 2024) is the fourth publication in BAK\u2019s publishing series BASICS (2019-ongoing) which revisits fundamental questions and urgencies of our time\u2014the \u201cbasics\u201d\u2014and seeks to develop afresh the building blocks of lexicons, tactics, scenarios, and relations that enable action in contemporary conditions.
