This reading group, hosted within the framework of the exhibition project Unsettled Earth at Spore Initiative, takes on the project's premises to look at resistant practices across Palestine that constitute a reordering of land, labor, and property relations. Nasser Abourahme's essay Revolution after Revolution revisits the historical trajectory of the Palestinian revolution to trace its production of revolutionary subjectivity and explore the potentialities of a renewed encounter between the concept of revolution and the persistent anti-colonial imperative.

The essay highlights political formations that link the dispossessed geography of Palestine with the possibility of a post-colonial future, bridging between the memory of a Palestine pre-colonization and the potential for a reclaimed relationship with the land following liberation. Via a close reading of Abourahme's text, this session will open onto a study on relations of land and life and the possibilities of picking up the thread of an unfinished revolutionary project.
This session is an activation of Mashaa't, an ongoing project of study, publishing and infrastructure-building hosted by Asphalt and featured in Unsettled Earth at Spore Initiative.
