I would love to spend more time on Bluesky, but the endless stream of the U.S. politics is so draining. I'd prefer to learn about other countries.

Glad to speak with Peter Korchnak on Remembering Yugoslavia about the legacy of non-alignment, erased Global South student histories, and the urgency behind the Nonaligned Archive. 🎧 yugoblok.com/nonaligned-m... 🌍 www.arhivnesvrstanih.org #nonalignedarchive #Zagreb

Heritage at its best

I really really wanna see this!

It’s a good day for Mahmoud Darwish — “The Prison Cell”

Privileged to hear the brilliant Panafrican Society in Croatia yesterday at the Human Rights Film Festival. The # of Africans in Croatia ranges from a few hundred to thousands—listen to the realities of living in a small peripheral country desperately trying to prove its whiteness.

A photo I posted of graffiti in Syria in 2014. "One day the war will be over and I will return to my poem" I hope they will return to their poem

In case you find yourself in Sofia this weekend, my short film The City That Has Peace will be playing at Toplocentrala as part of the Forgetting to Remember exhibition, curated by Simina Neagu, along with works of Voin de Voin, Simina Neagu, and Anca Benera and Arnold Estefan.

Ever wanted to see the world through someone else’s eyes?

I have started teaching Sara Ahmed’s the organization of hate routinely as I deal with a decidedly more right wing student body post Covid and nothing has been more effective. To explain that love- of a sovereign community abstract, unreal and narrowly defined- is the beginning of hate is effective.

Odur Ronald is one of my favorite contemporary artists. He just represented Uganda at the Venice Bienniale. This is his work "National Budget"

Introduce yourself with some jobs you've done apart from what you do now 1. Hostel cleaner 2. Guest manager in nautical tourism (living on the yacht) 3. Ceramic souvenir painter 4. Gold buyer 5. Band/tour manager 6. Language tutor 7. Bicycle courier 8. Train stewardess (one I despised the most)

Please consider boosting Li's call for support and send her as many good vibes as you can. Words can't describe what she must be going through right now after over a decade of being stealth... Below is a Twitter screenshot of Li's latest post in English.

I was massively attacked when I last said this (including on instagram and linked in because some folks are batshit) so naturally I say it again: the word “terrorist” is a racialized slur that people of conscience should stop using all together.

My 2023 interview with ruangrupa. We talked property, collectivism, visa inequality, culture financing, rest, and using one's own languages. kulturpunkt.hr/rubrike/alte...

We're attending a meetup of African and European museum professionals. I've spent the last two days in my hotel room recovering from a cold, and just woke up to a bunch of messages from my colleagues checking in on me 🥹🥹🥹. I feel so grateful. Community is EVERYTHING. Relationships are EVERYTHING

"Yes, but we can't 'afford' to address the climate issue right now. It will have to wait until better times." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Have not seen much on here on Sudan, so I'm amplifying this horrific report that shows the number who are killed is higher than previously estimated. Adding here other writing to read to understand this war that has displaced over 11 million people; the highest displacement crisis globally. 🧵

The Philippines have now been hit by four typhoons in the span of just 10 days. Can't say I recall ever seeing this before.

Africans officially made it to Croatia in the 20th century. At the Sorbonne in Paris in 1934, the Croatian linguist Petar Guberina met Aimé Césaire, and the two students soon became the best of friends. open.substack.com/pub/petramat...

One key principle of my NGO Jutro: everyone who works with us gets paid, unless they prefer to volunteer their work. While we enjoy engaging with theory, we strongly believe in prioritizing financial support for our contributors. Tangible comes first.

The Point of No Return, Elmina Castle, Ghana

We are proud to work with Živi Atelje DK, a leading Croatian art collective, and their Žene ženama (Women2Women) initiative of migrant women. Together, we run Živa škola (Living School), a youth program exploring collective learning. Here, we are mixing wild clay collected from Grmoščica Hill.

In Jutro, we organise book clubs where we talk about the legacies of colonialism and seek ways of healing from it. We have been lucky to host Jelena Savić, Dr. Sunnie Rucker-Chang, Tomislav Augustinčić, Damjan Roce, and in this photo, Majed Marouf, former Ambassador of Palestine in Bosnia.

The Non-Aligned Archive (Arhiv Nesvrstanih) is the most exciting project I am working on. It is a digital archive documenting the presence of African, Asian, and American communities in Croatia, and will be publicly presented in May 2025, online and offline.

I want to introduce my work. Last week, Jutro, the NGO I co-founded in my hometown Zagreb, Croatia, hosted the excellent Roma theorist and artivist Jelena Savić, currently at the University of Uppsala. If you understand BCS, you can watch this interview youtu.be/mpxGZA8CzbY?...

Yay, looks like a Twitter-free world is finally possible! Hello from gorgeous Ghana, Accra, where I am currently having a cold. Please enjoy a photo of my lunch.
