Accumulating Vocabularies
Through an affectionate examination of pigment and clay, an evocative layering of colorful realms on paper, and the threading and disentangling of nature's fibers, Otobong Nkanga has constituted a multivalent artistic practice that interrogates human complicity with the Earth and its impact on scarcity of its resources. In this survey article, the author navigates the contours of the Nigerian-born, Antwerp-based artist's thirty-year career, argui…

Queering Palestine
In this piece I address the construction of male homosexuality in Eytan Fox's The Bubble (Israel, 2006) in contrast with its presentation in the artist Sharif Waked's short film, Chic Point (Palestine, 2003). Examining the tensions between Palestinian and Israeli masculinity and homosexual desire, I espouse a narrative about the dualities of representing Palestinian queerness. I argue that the very nature of Palestinian daily life is queer. That …
