Join us for the launch of our 7th bulletin at the inspiring anarchist bookshop in Amsterdam: Het Fort van Sjakoo!
The H&D Bulletin is an occasional publication that culminates practical and reflective articles, conversations, scripts and manuals, experimental, poetic, visual, or otherwise speculative contributions from H&D coop members, critical friends, guests, and participants of our activities.
This 7th edition includes contributions by Michèle Boulogne, dianaband & Heeju, Iz Paehr & Ren Loren Britton, and H&D.
This bulletin was designed with Octomode, an open-source collective editing and designing tool for PDF making that uses Etherpad, Paged.js, and Flask. It was developed by our friends at Varia . Varia is a Rotterdam-based collective and space for developing collective approaches to everyday technology. Here is how they describe Octomode:
“Inspired by the non-centralized, tentacular cognition capabilities of the octopus, we imagined a space in which the artificial boundaries of writing and designing can be crossed; where writing, editing, and designing can be done in one environment simultaneously, allowing the format to influence the matter and vice-versa.”
H&D has been working on a new version of Octomode in collaboration with Learning Palestine : a group of artists, academics, intellectuals and community members, who aim to disseminate knowledge on the history of the ongoing struggle for justice, liberation, and freedom of Palestine and the Palestinian People.
For this special launch we are inviting Mitsi C. from Varia and Learning Palestine to join us to reflect on Octomode, as well as Karl Moubarak to share about ‘Resistant Energies’ a collaborative research project exploring infrastructures of resistance in the archives of IISG.
This bulletin marks the (momentary and not conclusive) end of a series of publishing experiments, gathering thoughts and processes from recent collaborations, it serves as a time stamp, surely we will be back with some more printed matters in the future.
We'd love to see you!
