Between 2011–17, Ibraaz 1.0 published ten platforms that gathered responses to questions relevant to art and its wider geopolitical contexts. This October, Ibraaz Publishing recommences this series with Platform 011.
Across essays, conversations, visual and sonic thinking, fiction, poetry, and moving image, Platform 011 takes as its central framing question: When does the term ‘Global Majority’ describe an existing condition and when does it begin to produce one?
As Platform 011 evolves over the coming nine to twelve months, artists, writers, thinkers, cultural workers, and activists working in different geopolitical contexts and disciplines will be invited to test the affordances and limitations of the Global Majority as an idea and practice, and to probe the role that art, language, organisational infrastructures, political affiliations, developing technologies, archival research, and publishing might play in imagining new forms of transnational solidarity and planetary belonging.
Platform 011 launches with contributions from Shahidul Alam, Louisa Yousfi, Gargi Bhattacharyya, Omar El Akkad, Kathryn Yusoff, Maya Indira Ganesh, Nadim Choufi, Djamila Ribeiro, Amanda Tropicana, Najlaa Eltom, Mayada Ibrahim, MK Harb, DJ Diaki, Su Yu Hsin, amongst others.
