Decolonial Hacker, Gaza (2026)

01/10/2025

Sarah Ihmoud () constellates genocide, tactics of starvation, and the Palestinian womb through the story of her friend, Shema Jaber Thabet, a new mother in Gaza. Beginning in October 2023, Sarah follows the events of Shema’s life: mapping the violence of zionist warfare as it punctuates and intervenes into an experience of Palestinian motherhood, survival, and love. Shema’s insistence to live in spite of these conditions demonstrates “a refusal to cede the future” to the zionist entity; with her life becoming, as Sarah writes, “a profound lens through which to theorize the Palestinian womb as both a target of zionist colonial violence and a site of Palestinian futurity.” 🧑‍🧑‍🧒🇵🇸

“Episode Five: Fundraising” is part of THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT HAVE BEEN DOWNLOADED by Francis Whorrall-Campbell (), a serialised novella about t***k death, Kurt Cobain, and the history of the trans internet. The story unfolds across two parallel timelines and from the perspective of two protagonists: a fictionalised version of Kurt Cobain just before his death in 1994, and a trans influencer—Edie—living in the US in 2034. This new chapter, commissioned by Decolonial Hacker, follows Edie as she mediates on the value form of gender, extending from Wren Ariel Gould’s writing on the ways trans affirming activists consolidate a ‘trans capitalist realism’ in which anti-capitalist routes to transition are rendered impossible, and the white, wealthy trans person is presented as the target of a bio- and necro-politics materially directed at low-income trans people of colour. Viewed wholly, Whorrall-Campbell proposes that the way capital is generated and circulated within trans communities similarly colludes with the abjection of trans people writ large—and Edie certainly colludes. 🛣️🤳

farid rakun () of ruangrupa—Artistic Directors of documenta fifteen—provides insight into two key moments from 2022 that encapsulate the humiliation and hurt felt by the collective at the hands of this German institution, its public, and the country writ large. Written as a playscript and accompanied by rakun’s original illustrations, this piece demonstrates the nature of ruangrupa as a horizontal collective that is incompatible with the depravity, cowardice, and idiocy of a vertical, German institutional structure. Writes rakun: “This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons or events, is, most of the time, intentional.” 🪧🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🏤

Shivangi Mariam Raj () investigates the spatiotemporal order imposed onto Palestinian life by the Zionist entity; its “perennial conquests of time” designed to “expel and isolate.” The entity’s spatiotemporal regime reveals anxieties about its own impermanence, made real and inevitable by the Palestinian who asserts their right to liberation and life, such as on 7 October 2023. Tracing the different modalities of time that the Palestinian practices in spite of the entity’s imposed order, Raj draws attention to how Palestinian temporalities “precede the enemy, and will outlive him.” ⏰🪂🇵🇸
