Since returning to Singapore after graduating from the DAI in 2017, our alum Wayne WJ.Lim has been actively organising collective work amongst artists and peers in the arts, both in Singapore and around the region. All the work done under the banner of AWKNDAFFR, that is led by himself and his partner in crime, Kay Min Soh (who’s a graduate from Goldsmith’s University of London). Bringing together a flavourful rasanblaj of artists and thinkers, their publication "Can, Cannot, and Other Options: Between Defiance and Desire, Towards Fuller Lives" is an anthology of speculative non/fictions, personal and interpersonal confessions, and experimental propositions, that highlights the desires for lives lived fully which have persisted through toxic times and in spite of deep violence. Pathways for other options have always been there all along — the repetitive task of times anew remains, always, to find these paths again. Contributors: Riksa Afiaty and Theodora Agni, Joshua Babcock, Chand Chandramohan, Stefano Harney, bani haykal, Pitchaya Ngamcharoen (DAI, 2018) and Vinita Gatne (DAI, 2019) (with Areumnari Ee (DAI, 2018), Dina Mohamed (DAI, 2019) & Wang Duruo ( DAI, 2019), Nurul Huda Rashid, and Marcus Yee.

Fatima Daas's debut novel, The Last One, is an autofictional delve into the inner life and growing pains of a young lesbian of Algerian descent. Clichy-sous-Bois is her omphalos, the beleaguered French suburb where riots erupted in 2005 following the deaths of two teenagers named Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré, who were electrocuted as they fled from the police. Unrest rippled nationwide, triggering the first declaration of a state of emergency since the end of the Algerian War and cementing banlieues like Clichy-sous-Bois in the public imagination as poverty-stricken, crime-infested hinterlands. How does one write from such a place? As Daas puts it, how do you sit with your ass between two chairs? For Bidoun, she speaks to the writer Momtaza Mehri about her influences, being the only “beurette” in her family, diaspora, failure, rap, religion, the disappeared women of the banlieue, and working-class writers’ relationships to the literary establishments that anoint them. Momtaza Mehri was esteemed respondent to DAI's AEROPONIC ACTS in 2021 and 2022. Find the link to the article in Bidoun here.
