performingborders Pamphlet #4 – Party Office

We are proud to launch Party Office’s pamphlet commission “we are the ones we have been waiting for”.

The autobiography of the only remaining witness to a genocide of their people is eventually called a false declaration. It is then a challenge to the integrity of the generation, to stand up and demand the dismantling of the system, and to make sure that no one is left behind. Anarchism advocates a social transformation based on strategies that must allow for the substitution of a system of domination by a system of self-management. Vidisha-Fadesha

Rooted in poet and activist June Jordan’s Poem for South African Women (1978), “we are the ones we have been waiting for”, is a digital commission curated by Party Office as an assembly of artists who are forerunners of the story-telling of their people and histories.

Blue Paul Flaming, Sajan Mani, and Fehras Publishing Practices contribute with a ‘translational’ dialogue through performance, videos and writing. This assembly of artists and thinkers reflects on solidarity as something that brings us to empathise, bear witness, translate and rage, through personal potentialities.
