There’s too much to say about the possibilities for Palestinian life after ten months of genocide. We wrote this text last year, and submitted it on September 7. During its gestation, Rosana got pregnant and before its publication, had her second baby in the diaspora. There is so much grief and anger and longing and hope in this writing, which has only intensified over the past year. “What is my motherhood, if not non parsable from every other mother, living a full life with their baby?” @tk_miller ’s words ring in our ears.

[image description]: three tweets that read (1) we don’t tweet so much from the office account but we have some kind of audience who ought to know that the struggle for Palestinian liberation is central to a truly decolonial political and spatial practice. this is neither complicated nor controversial. (2) architects (and everyone else) can begin to unravel their complicity in fortifying the settler state by committing to #boycottdivestmentsanctions (3) FREE PALESTINE ! [/image description]

“passport: blood, borders, belonging” @architektur_im_magazin 🩸📑 it has been a surreal experience to share this work and mount an exhibition in absentia (as US passport holders barred from EU travel), and it would not have been possible without the wonderful team at MAGAZIN 🧰 we are making another virtual appearance as part of this exhibition that dwells on, among other things, the paper identity document 🎟 please join us tomorrow at 1pm EST / 7pm CET for a discussion with @akawinora and @elkekrasny 🖥 DM @architektur_im_magazin for the zoom link ❣️
Amupakin Achimamas are an Indigenous women's midwifery and cultural center located in Ecuador. They are collaborators of f-architecture and their work and teaching has meant so much to us and @vavablacksheeps especially. Due to the difficulties of COVID-19, their center, which offers valuable knowledge to Ecuadorians and to people all over the world, is in danger of being shutdown. Please consider donating something small, if you are able, so that they can continue to be paid for their work. ⚠️ Please follow the link in our bio to the gofundme ⚠️a donation of $50 will sponsor the monthly salary for one midwife or apprentice of AMUPAKIN, but every dollar donated will allow AMUPAKIN to keep their doors open and provide cultural and medicinal support to their communities during this incredibly difficult time.

we will not participate in the adulation of those who won the corporate game at the expense of those whose lives depend on screaming, unbecomingly, in the streets ◼️ LinkedIn smiles cannot save us now ◼️ love and complaint from these co-founders @perosanafication@vavablacksheeps@hellagabrielle 🔘🔘🔘 swipe for our performance of the architect’s headshot, ft. errant brow-sweat, electrical buzz of migraine prodrome, creep of malaise, deep sighs, slow blinks
hi friends 💌 writing you from bed to share this special issue of @log_grams edited by @bryonypix , who let us air some concerns in a piece we called “the memo” — in which we maintain critique, complaint, and cancellation as necessary to the practice of greater care 📮

آلات ورقية / Paper Machine 📃📄🧾 ما بين الداخل البيروقراطي، وأسطورة الدم والأرض، يُنتج المعرض مساحة لتأمل الأجهزة المعاصرة لحق الدم
Somewhere between the bureaucratic interior of the Civil Status Department and the myth of blood-and-soil, Paper Machine creates a site of encounter with the contemporary apparatus of jus sanguinis.
