Akkadia Press Pouran Jinchi
Pouran Jinchi’s monograph offers the first expansive reading into the nearly 25-year-long practice of the Iranian-born American artist. Helping to reimagine the engagement of Persian calligraphy within a contemporary art discourse, this title follows a prolific career, examining work that has been exhibited across the world in solo and group presentations and produced across varied media. Co-published by Akkadia Press and Works on Paper, the book includes critical commentary and essays from such noted experts as Dr Maryam Ekhtiar (Associate Curator, the Metropolitan Museum of Art); Dr Shiva Balaghi (independent scholar based in LA); and Ben Eastham (Associate Editor of ArtReview and founder of The White Review).

Hatje Cantz Bani Abidi: The Artist Who
One of Pakistan’s most notable contemporary artists, Bani Abidi creates videos and multimedia works that interweave autobiographical fiction with socio-political commentary and satire. Her practice explores the sobering realities of the political conditions, bureaucracy, and urban infrastructure in Asia, exposing the absurdities emerging from the dysfunctionalities of everyday life. The Artist Who is the first monograph to look at the work of this Berlin-based Pakistani artist. Envisioned as an artist project, the publication explores notions of humor, playfulness and experimentation by engaging with forms of writing, design, printing, and assembly. Containing a documentation of artworks created over two decades as well as archival material and a rich selection of texts, it represents the wide range of relationships Abidi has fostered during this period.
