This ABC primer appropriates 1950s Egyptian educational tools of nationalistic indoctrination to reflect on the language and iconography which emerge in times of protest and revolution. It is part of a broader series of artworks which stem from the ongoing project Vox Populi: Tahrir Archives, an archive of digital data pertaining to global social movements which the author has gathered and performed in various media since 2011. ABC: A Lesson in History is dedicated to the thousands of illiterates among the many Egyptian protesters who fought for freedom and democracy in Egypt’s 2011 uprisings.

A Long Wait: Double Vision
by Francois Hughes, Yulia Pinkusevich, Andrea StevesA Long Wait: Double Vision is an artist book published in conjunction with the 2018 installation developed at Fort Gorges in Portland, Maine by artists Andrea Steves, Francois Hughes, and Yulia Pinkusevich. Edited by Rose Linke, the volume draws on research from the artists' collaborative project, Double Vision, which explores the Cold War history of the Nike Missile Program and its counterparts in the USSR. The project began while the artists were in residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts in the Marin Headlands, California, which is home to the Nike Missile Battery, part of a nationwide nuclear missile defense system active from 1951 to 1972. A Long Wait: Double Vision features photographs, interviews with former Nike veterans and veterans of the USSR’s nuclear programs, and historical documents from multiple archives, allowing for collective reflection on this history and our current reality of heightened nuclear fears.
