Plus, Taous Dahmani, Oriane Durand, Cristina Sanchez-Kozyreva and Wilson Tarbox each share a personal postcard from Marseille.
Also featuring: Kaelen Wilson-Goldie profiles Lawrence Abu Hamdan, whose latest works examine the weaponization of noise and the politics of listening. SculptureCenter’s deputy director, Kyle Dancewicz, interviews Claudia Pagès Rabal about her interdisciplinary practice and how enduring connections between the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb challenge political narratives and ideas of national identity. In ‘1,500 Words’, Kaya Genç traces the ways in which contemporary artists have created pockets of resistance in the heart of Istanbul.
