Since moving to the Netherlands, Siwars’ focus on language and multilingualism have been her driving force. In early 2021, she wrote two letters to her mother tongue, Arabic.
The diary-like series in this publication responds to those two letters, documenting Siwars’ evolving relationship with the language since moving to the Netherlands, mainly as a testament to herself and a way of keeping her promise to the language.

Published by Unformed Informed (Publishing) 2023, design by Siwar Kraytem, printed by KIOSK Rotterdam. 16 pp. (Red RISO print), 10,5 x 29,7 cm, edition of 100.

Publishing Dialogues
Arabic is still in my quotidian, yes it is. is part of the Publishing Dialogues series, by artists/authors who explore language as an instrument and construct. With the series we want to create a space for small scale experiments. Not to publish a definitive, immutable object, but to make a suggestion. One that is open to improvement, revision, call-and-response, iteration, or even a full negation.
