The second Mailbox Project initiated by Dongola Limited Editions out of Beirut Lebanon, whereby handmade accordion books were mailed to a selection of artists to fill in response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, to “shed light on this dark moment of our contemporary history” as Dongola co-founder Abed Al Kadiri suscintly puts it. The project was initiated in February 2024, months before anyone knew that Beirut would as well be subject to unspeakable violence, before bombardments could be viewed right outside the windows of Dongola’s office space.
A reproduction of the work is due to be included in a consolidated publication/catalogue from Dongola, but the original artist-book can be acquired from Garage.Ganzeer.
