Fisherwomxn #2 by Sanabel Abdelrahman, December 2024
In this edition Sanabel Abdelrahman reflects on her last days living in what she calls “the belly of the beast” as a Palestinian, capturing the unforgivable and expanded time that will scar us forever. It’s a horrific time to be writing, but since we ought to keep going, we hope that these texts will find you and remind you that as much in grief, as in the struggle and the fight for liberation, we are a swarm.

Fisherwomxn #1 by Miriam Gatt, December 2023
In this edition Miriam reflects on her personal struggle to stay connected with her land through her relationship to the sea and sets the ground to imagine a new yet ancient community of Fisherwomxn. This edition focuses on the deconstruction of the post-colonial narrative that people from formerly colonized lands struggle with: that we are better off away from home, that we should stay in foreign lands in order to receive any valid knowledge and recognition.

The Fisherwomxn journal aims to narrate the collective concerns of women in the Mediterranean through notes kept on our phones, leaves pressed in our books, thoughts scribbled in the margins, photographs of things we saw, places we’ve been, conversations had, and much more. Through these fragments we attempt to find each other, to transform our sense of belonging and to reposition ourselves within lost shared cosmologies, unearthing myths and sharing references to reconstruct a new yet ancient community of Fisherwomxn.
(to the stones) we lent you our breath, and you whispered it back to the earth
This book was published in the context of the exhibition titled “(to the stones) we lent you our breath, and you whispered it back to the earth” at the Cyprus Pavilion at the 19th international architecture exhibition La Biennale di Venezia 2025. It brings together a collection of writings that tend to the politics of the land and the commons of those inhabiting it, through tracing the rhythms of drystone building practices, an ancient communal practice of building without binding mortar.

In these folders you will find reading list, texts written by people who gather, exercises, conversations and other fragments assembled by those who gather and study together at a (port). (Port)als are a growing archive of shared study, offering a practical framework for educators, artists, and cultural workers interested in building collaborative infrastructures for learning. We hope you will follow the trajectories they map and that they may lead you to new places.
DAI COOP Study Group 2024–2025 in alliance with SAVVY Contemporary
This COOP study group is the continuation of an ongoing study of the historical legacy of cultural workers and their material involvement in and support of anti-imperialism. It is an invitation to reflect, to draw from and to study the role that art has to play as a weapon of struggle and the lessons that cultural practitioners of today can learn as we attempt to wield it.

Fisherwomxn co-learning assembly 2025
In a time when meaning seems to be escaping our words this co-learning assembly focuses on how we can resist these violent pulls through the act of writing, translating and publishing. Our study is grounded within the linguistic and cultural landscape of Cyprus, a historically contested space where languages and identities have intersected, collided, and evolved over centuries. The fragmented reality of language in Cyprus and the questions it raises in current political dialogue, serve as an urgent starting point for our study. What does it mean to engage with language as a political tool? Read more.
