Available from TODAY! @printedmatter_artbookfairs LA edition
Hand to Hand is a new cassette tape edition by Aventures LTD press in collaboration with @unibrowsun and @gluefactoryradio , assembled by @sabri , Michelle Nazzal, & Andrew Miller . The project draws inspiration from histories of bootleg mixtapes exchanged by family and through travel across the Arab diaspora. It pays homage to the preciousness of music as a souvenir, a time capsule and an emotional bed, especially for people displaced or in exile.
This cassette arrives with news print poster and postcard housed in a hand stamped mailer. Edition of 300 with proceeds going to @thesameerproject
Massive thanks to @secret_riso_club for executing the master print of the design.
“...whenever someone returned from abroad, they carried suitcases filled with pieces of home. Cassette tapes and CDs were a big part of that home. They were quickly dubbed, recopied, and passed along, hand to hand, through a community hungry for connection. I remember my parents’ friends arriving with stacks of freshly recorded tapes, ready to share.
From those, my parents would build their own collections—mixtapes of favorites that would continue to circulate among family and friends. These exchanges shaped my earliest sense of home: not just a place, but a feeling carried through sound, scent, and memory.” - Sabri
