Review\nSuch fun little details between the image-based spine layout, the bookmark that doubles as a title under the shrinkwrap, and the table of contents as a filmstrip. 100% kudos for making a jacket completely without text! -- Kimberly Varella ― AIGA\nA beautifully produced monograph on a rising star exploring postcolonialism and gender in photography 
Shortlisted for the Aperture-Paris Photo Photobook of the Year 2021, Hello Future is a culmination of Farah Al Qasimi’s (born 1991) photographic, performance and film practice, unified within her keen focus on surface and texture, and the revealing visual influences of the splashy and florid. Al Qasimi examines postcolonial structures of power, gender and aesthetics in the Persian Gulf states and global cultural confluence and migration at large.

“This intimate and funny and abstract fiction uses fable, and unreality, to flood a reader with the real, to remind her what is at stake.” –Rachel Kushner 
During a residency on Fire Island, artist and writer Hannah Black decided to tackle a highly daunting project: the 2020 novel. The result of her efforts, Tuesday of September or the End, is a slim, playful work of speculative fiction. Written in the aftermath of the early months of the pandemic and the uprisings of summer 2020, the novel explores the ruptures of the year with a satirical sci-fi bent. Black chronicles the lives of two characters, Bird and Dog, as they contend with rapidly changing political possibilities during the pandemic while the run of Moley Salamanders (i.e. Bernie Sanders) concludes and aliens finally invade earth. Through a galvanic vision of how the riots of 2020 might have turned revolutionary, Black offers a meditation on collective life. This crucial novel invites readers to consider who we are―and, by extension, what we are here for―when our normal referents are muted, deleted and upended. 
Hannah Black (born 1981) is a New York–based visual artist, critic and writer from Manchester, England. Her work spans video, text and performance and draws from communist, feminist and Afro-pessimist theory. She is the author of Life (2017, with Juliana Huxtable) and Dark Pool Party (2016). Black is represented by the gallery Arcadia Missa in London and Isabella Bortolozzi in Berlin.
