P L  S 38
ancestries
The magazine of the Palais de Tokyo
Release date: 16 October 2024
 
Issue 38 of P L  S magazine calls upon ancestries, be they intimate or political, transgenerational and historical, human or more-than-human, symbolic or material. Its contributions invite us to “communicate with the invisible,” in the words of the Guadeloupean writer Maryse Condé in her novel I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem.
It is a matter of conjuring away oblivion and erasure: to revive connections and lineage, something both familiar and held in common, so as to find strength, protection, guidance and, perhaps, healing.
 
In this issue:
Texts by Alexis Pauline Gumbs (poet and independent scholar), Isis Labeau-Caberia (fiction and non-fiction writer), Simone Lagrand (poet and pawolèz [“wordsmith”]), LeRhonda S. Manigault-Bryant (scholar-artist), as well as a text by Yasmine Belhadi (art critic and curator) on the transperformances of Myriam Mihindou (multidisciplinary artist);
