What is highly unlikely but not impossible?

A diverse compendium of writing and visual art that addresses pertinent issues found in the work of artist Hiwa K – such as statehood, war, migration, belonging, the effects of neoliberalism and colonialism, home as a concept, language, and the myth of the individual artist. The compendium ranges freely across mediums, drawing together experimental poetry, science fiction, photography, memoir, academic essays, art historical texts, and more.

What is highly unlikely but not impossible? includes a short story by Benjamin Labatut, an excerpt from a lecture by Achille Mbembe, drawings by Hajra Waheed, and other contributions by Omar El Akkad, Havin Al-Sîndy, Yto Barrada, Dionne Brand, Deena Chalabi, Nidhal Chamekh, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Ursula K. Le Guin, Raven Chacon and Candice Hopkins, Brian Karl, Hiwa K, Quinn Latimer, Henri Lefebvre, Mazyar Lotfalian, Peter L. Manuel, Fred Moten, Gabriel Orozco, Jacques Rancière, Man Ray, Rijin Sahakian, Solmaz Sharif, Tiffany Sia, Julietta Singh, Rayyane Tabet, and Anton Vidokle.
