This edition of Trigger presents a collection of photographs, images, and personal essays that reimagine what sociopolitical gatherings are, could be, or might become. Moving across the Southwest Asia and North Africa region (SWANA), it considers the politics of gathering and traces the many shapes and forms of coming together – from protest to ritual, from informal circles to fleeting encounters – to reflect on what remains, and what comes after. Guest-edited by Taous Dahmani in collaboration with FOMU Assemblies, the book features artists and writers such as Rabih Mroué, Hoda Afshar, Myriam Boulos, Larissa Sansour, Maen Hammad, Hajer Boubaker, and more.
