In the Absence of Bombs investigates this silence. In a time when horror is livestreamed and apathy is institutionalized, this book asks how such paralysis is possible – and how art can contribute to recognition of the unfolding crimes against humanity? How do poets, visual artists, theatre and filmmakers unsettle the spectacle of shock? How can grief become a collective and political force, rather than a privatized void? Through testimonies from war zones – from Gaza to Kharkiv, Beirut to Brussels – this book composes a polyphonic response to a world that demands clarity but offers none. It does not moralize. It insists. On mourning. On commitment.

320 pages, 14 x 21 cm, softcover, Valiz (Amsterdam).
