Solveig Qu Suess

Another thing to advertise before the year is out: I contributed an essay (along with Jerome Whitington) to the Against Catastrophe group, commenting on the lovely digital artwork of Antonia Hernandez and Solveig Qu Suess. Check it out! againstcatastrophe.net

Another recording from the Sonic Acts symposium is out this week! Watch or listen back to filmmaker & researcher Solveig Qu Suess's lecture ‘Holding Rivers, Becoming Mountains’ on the #Mekong river and its many transformations: youtu.be/BnvhvsvYTnY 💧

Today the @LRB is publishing my piece about the history of the Israeli settlements around the Gaza Strip. It is an effort to think through the historical context of current events. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/…

I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived 4 years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the IDF. When that is your world, it's hard to see apartheid when it's happening. 1/16
