Fehras Publishing Practices
Fehras Publishing Practices (Sami Rustom, Omar Nicolas and Kenan Darwich) is an artist collective founded in Berlin in 2015. The collective is researching the history and presence of publishing and its entanglement in socio-political and cultural sphere in the Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Arabic diaspora, focusing on the relationship between publishing and art historiography. It concerns with the role of translation as a tool facing cultural domination in its traditional and modern forms, as well as a tool for creating solidarity and deconstructing colonial power. Fehras observes publishing as a possibility for creating, transferring and accumulating knowledge and therefor initiates projects that carry different forms such as exhibition, film, book, lectures, performances.

Rester. Étranger
Rester. Étranger is a kind of family. The family is the format of the work. Because Rester. Étranger is a work of art. What kind of art? A kind of art that is experimental. That is, an art in the making. Which is really experienced. A non-spectacular, non-exclusive, living kind of art. Which belongs to its makers. Those who breathe it. Those who sweat it. You are making it too. This moment when you engage in reading these lines belongs to you. You are getting in touch with an activity that grounds the experience of Rester. Étranger. An art practice that has no outside. That does not wait for an audience. Nor for the right place. Nor for the right time to happen. Rester. Étranger is happening and gives space to each person who encounters its activity. Crossing through what remains of the disoriented desire for camping in reality. A choreographic trajectory within the relation.
Barbara Manzetti
Barbara Manzetti deeply inhabits, in the company of others, an experiential and affective work that resists its own execution.

Myriam Suchet
Myriam is searching, and often gets lost. Trained as a literature scholar, she got undisciplined somewhere between France and Québec. She is Associate professor at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University where she has run the Centre d’études québécoises since 2012. In 2019, she joined the Institut Universitaire de France. However, she best operates in the interstices between institutions, weaving relations with other sites of research-practice-creation. Her Phd in Humanities thesis (jointly led in Lille 3 and Concordia universities, 2007-2010) investigated literary texts that are simultaneously written in different languages, thus shattering the myth of “the language” as one and indivisible. Since then, she has been exploring the political implications of this poetics by considering that the “s” in “français” signals a plural form (to be read “frenches” rather than “French”). Among her publications are three books: L’Imaginaire hétérolingue. Ce que nous apprennent les textes à la croisée des langues (Paris, Classiques Garnier, 2014); Indiscipline ! Tentatives d’UniverCité à l’usage des littégraphistes, artistechniciens et autres philopraticiens (Montréal, Nota Bene, 2016); L’Horizon est ici. Pour une prolifération des modes de relations (Rennes, Éditions du Commun, 2019). She would love to hear from you, don’t hesitate to send her messages at myriam.suchet@sorbonne-nouvelle.fr
