As a community of practitioners collaborating across regions and socio-political environments, at the core of our work lies a commitment to disrupt Eurocentric epistemologies. As a result, our work is deeply rooted in a sustained scrutiny of the role of languages, visuality, and archives in the perpetration of the coloniality of knowledge.
Our impulse to publish stems from the desire to disseminate stories for the subversive potential they can yield, creating cracks in dominant narratives, fleeing accounts of history with a capital H and turning to the power of the fragment. We conceive archives as sites, institutions, repositories of knowledge/power, systems of thought and violence, but also as counter-practices of collecting, preserving, disseminating and organizing experiences of resistance.
Through a publishing practice grounded in collective, transdisciplinary and cross-cultural collaborations, Archive is invested in un-weaving repressive narratives and reclaiming the archive itself as a tool which no longer categorizes but rather continuously un-fixes, de-archives and re-archives through non-hegemonic models.

Sustaining the Otherwise is a collaborative research and artistic project about restitution, reparation and transformation taking place in multiple locations over several years. Initiated and conceptualized by researchers and curators Amal Alhaag & Selene Wendt, it offers a space for artists, activists, scholars and writers to be in dialogue and to explore the topic of restitution in relation to both material and immaterial culture, through a program that frames restitution within the context of contemporary art practice.

Global Fascisms – Reader (en) (2025)
ISBN–978-3-949973-98-7
Around the world, there is a glaring turn towards a sinister form of politics. One is reluctant to name it for what all its recognizable signs point to, for fear of accepting the reality that fascism is here and it is everywhere. Amid a raging discussion about where authoritarianism ends and fascism begins, the Global Fascisms—Reader critically examines the aesthetic, social, and political dynamics of fascism, questioning its appeal and ideological mechanisms, and looking at how current authoritarian conjunctures are being condoned, contested, and resisted across the globe. The longform essays, poetry, and conversations with experts collected here accompany the eponymous exhibition at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), engaging with a quintessentially modern and eerily contemporary political mo(ve)ment.
Voice Seeping into Time: Of Thoughts Finding Form (Speeches 2023-25) (2025)
ISBN–9783949973956
Borrowing its title from Forough Farrokhzad’s poem Only Voice Remains, Voice Seeping into Time asserts the power of the voice to claim not only space but also time. Through a selection of speeches held over the first two years as director and chief curator of Berlin’s Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) between March 2023 and April 2025, this volume expands Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung’s notion of the voice as a space of publication in itself. With each articulation delivered by a single voice but funnelling the echoes of many, Voice Seeping Into Time explores the programmatic lines shaping HKW’s institutional embrace of the plurality of cultures, epistemologies, sociopolitics, spiritualities, and ways of being in the world.
