Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to announce the publication of the book asylstafetten crafts politics // hantverk politik, a bilingual publication on autonomous asylum seekers movements, practices of making and possible politics they may offer:
“In July 2013, Malmö, Sweden, a group of asylum seekers and undocumented migrants initiated a march from Malmö to Stockholm called Asylstafetten. The marchers demanded that their stories of migration, asylum and undocumentedness be heard and transferred into action. Many activities were organised for the duration of the 34 day-long march including the crafting workshops. Through essays and conversations with participants of the march, this publication portrays multiple narratives about the workshops; the spaces they occupied, the practices and ideas they generated as well as their political potential to come.”
