“Even if I must die I am saying I love you”
The interview, borrowing its title “even if I must die I am saying I love you” from a line in one of Phanuel Antwi’s poems, was conducted on the occasion of the experimental lit & performance festival The New Present Tense, held between 22–23 November 2024 at the Feminist Autonomous Centre for research (FAC), in Athens, Greece.

And the Disenchantment of Empire
This article contextualizes 1865 as a key moment in global history and in the world of the British Empire.
