EDITORIAL
Concreta 24, Hosting the ‘mediodía’

From Arab hospitality as a practice of resistance to images created by Palestinian peoples as acts of extreme generosity, the contributions in Concreta 24 (Fall 2024) embrace themes such as memory, diaspora, fluid feminisms and alternative temporalities that challenge modern logics. The essays and visual proposals dialogue with Arab, Andalusian and decolonial cultural legacies, proposing a geopolitical imaginary that interweaves transnational and diasporic traditions, while exploring new ethical and aesthetic possibilities in the face of dominant narrative structures. With the collaboration of Nadia Yaqub, Sandi Hilal (DAAR), Eva Álvarez, Carlos Gómez, Jussi Parikka, Charles Hirschkind, Antonio Collados, Rafa SM Paniagua (La Madraza), Adrian Schindler, Monia Ben Hamouda, Elias Rizek, Sadik Kwaish Alfraji, Jawa El Khash, Learning Palestine, Lumbung Press, Nicolás Combarro (TEJA).
