No Document Anwen Crawford

Disappeared artworks, effaced histories, abandoned futures: No Document is an exploration of loss in many forms. It is an elegy for a friendship and artistic partnership cut short by death, an attempt to make a dear friend emerge from a field of memory that also encompasses histories of protest and revolution, art-making, and cinema, border policing and the abattoir. No Document shows how love, kinship, and resistance echo through time.

Anwen Crawford is an Australian writer, best known for her writing as a critic, and here she also draws on her background in poetry, visual art and zine-making in a formally daring work of composition and collage. At once intimate and expansive, No Document reimagines the boundaries that divide us--as people, nations, and species--and asks how we can create forms of solidarity that endure.
