Remove the Dot

“Remove the Dot” is an ongoing research program by Saja Amro and Wassila Abboud that takes guidance from historical and present voices at the forefront of the liberation struggle. Through both a materialist and speculative lense, Saja and Wassila explore the knowledge that emerges within contexts of oppression and rupture helping linger in spaces of imagination that provokes the gap between theory and political practice. The program is an experimental attempt to start from the consequences of institutional frameworks and their conditions of thought and knowledge production, while speculating on new frameworks beyond the arrangements of our time.

The work so far has evolved through various forms, including diagrams, public sessions, reading groups, and study days. The recent ongoing program explores relations to land and the commitment to sacrifice for it, requiring a rationality incomprehensible within institutional frameworks.
