PARANOID CITI
"Desperate and playful. This iterative poetic series cries through the panic of now to bestill an ecstatic people. Paranoid Citi finds no doubt that if understanding is a matter of form, survival necessitates transformation." - Crystal Odelle, author of Trans Studies
"Who doesn't like to post ethereal lightly? Who isn't a citizenry draped in lilac ethics? Are you a froth? In Shannon Hearn's PARANOID CITI, an interrogative story is shaping up. She's uploading music for grace in crisis. She's writing poems for you, citizen, and kindly so." - Nick Sturm
Includes a bag tag and drawing by Elise Houcek.

A4 review N°4
Gorge Bataille, Marc Buchy and 2 more
Founded in 2023, A4 is a poetry review which showcases and explores contemporary writings practices. Run by Littérature Supersport collective, the object is seen as the extension of their events. The review takes the form of 4 postcards which, when placed side-by-side, form an A4-sheet. A light (even precarious) format for literature that slips into the back pocket of pants and hangs on fridge doors. Each issue features unpublished texts by 4 authors. Wrapped in colors, A4 is distributed by post and available in good bookshops, in Brussels, Liège, Paris and Marseille.
This fourth issue presents texts by: Gorge Bataille, Marc Buchy, Samy Manga, Elke de Rijcke.
SABR N°04 - Half a life
“Perhaps much of what we once believed was never truth but a gentle and necessary illusion.It was something we chose quietly and almost unconsciously so we could continue without falling apart.”
Bayan Abu Nahla is a visual artist born in 2001 in Gaza, Palestine. Her artistic practice functions as a visual diary, documenting and reflecting rapidly evolving events, both before and after the genocide. Through her work, she explores realities and daily living conditions often unknown to those who have not lived in Gaza.
SABR/Collection is a series of publications that bring together short literary works in a variety of genres. Curated by Nesrine Salem, SABR/Collection wishes to highlight the macro-realities of the authors chosen, to make visible the intersectional nature of struggles.

Swamp, City, Forest
This zine is the result of the research residency "Plotting with the archive" that took place at Komplot between September 2025 and January 2026. The publication contains a subjective timeline of Komplot — its strategies, relations and projects — with the aim of organising them and at the same time speculating on possible future developments. The material was produced during a collective workshop in which the archive was explored and activated.
