Issue 1 / Mar 2021
This Joyous Hospitality
NO NIIN’s first issue makes an effort to understand how artistic exchange can operate as an avenue for navigating immediate crises, precarious lifeworks, and unstable futures. It explores library as archive as excavation site; domestic and public spaces in relation to body and to labor; methods of counteracting toxic productivity in academia. It also includes a student puppet theater that explores the inherent duality of human nature and imagines the lifespan of an ancient object, along with a letter to the museum of bad art. Featuring contributions by Elham Rahmati and Vidha Saumya, Ali Akbar Mehta, Paola Jalili, Hanna Järvinen, Aneta Atsova, Melanie Pop and Shia Conlon.
