An insightful evening with @ArtofthePen as part of HİÇ: In Pursuit of Nothingness, exploring discipline and the quiet work behind becoming hiç. Moderated by the curator @NagihanSeymour , the conversation opened a clear window into the inner life of artistic practice. ✨

This morning I learned
the English word gauze
(finely woven medical cloth)
comes from the Arabic word غَزّة or Ghazza
Because Gazans have been skilled weavers for centuries …

A beautiful article in the @nytimes about the Wizard of Ink Jason Logan @thething

🔊 Sound On. It is a Moroccan tradition to recite the invocation 'Ya Lateef' (O Kind One!) at times of extreme difficulty. One of its benefits is to give the heart solace. May we all embody kindness regardless of what we believe or where we are from.🤲#CeaseFireForGaza

Israel has murdered a number of Palestinian artists in Gaza.
Their art showed a glimpse of life under Israel's siege, and their dreams and aspirations for a free Palestine.
We mourn them and call on artists around the world to speak up against #GazaGenocide
