MISSING
As our streets become ever more securitised and visually sanitised, and as most forms of everyday communications are shifting to the digital realm, homemade missing posters are one of the few remaining forms of paper-based citizen expression still found in public spaces.
Drawing on a collection of several hundred missing animal posters collected over the last 10 years, “MISSING” brings seemingly isolated text fragments into conversation to weave a narrative of loss and hope.
Featuring exaggerated duotone images, the publication explores the link between the weathering of physical posters and the fading away of cherished memories. While looking through these visual artefacts, one is left to wonder how many of these animals have been reunited with their families.

This incantatory song, “busy in green,” points its reader to the disturbing beauty in stripey checksum barcodes, to arrays of imported figs at the grocer, to words like cloud or lime that now mean too much. Humorous, musical, perspicacious, this chapbook rocks."
- Katherine Gibbel, April 2026
Includes 3 poems by Dre Roelandt.

SABR N°00 - It’s 6:18 in the morning, I got woken up by the Adhan a few minutes ago.
« [...] Mon moi superstitieux, ou mon moi spirituel, a pensé que je devais l’avoir entendu pour une raison. C’est peut-être pour ça qu’on a pas droit à l’appel à la prière en Occident, les sorcières astro “open chackra” girlies pourraient aussi le prendre comme un signe [...] »
La collection est inaugurée par Nesrine Salem, curatrice et éditrice de SABR/Collection, dans un numéro pilote.
À travers sa polyglossie, l’autrice célèbre la pluralité de son identité et conduit ses recherches autour des traumatismes intergénérationnels, du tokenisme et des pratiques de deuil.
SABR/Collection est une série de publications qui rassemble des œuvres littéraires de format court et de genres variés. Dirigée par Nesrine Salem, la collection souhaite mettre en avant les macro-réalités des auteur·ices choisi·es pour rendre visible le caractère intersectionnel des luttes.
¶ #0: Apophenia
A mark in time, grabbed from the ever-changing constant
A movement from observation to attraction
A want to collect – not to own an entirety, but to accentuate the parts
An attempt at molding the infinite
A crystallization of clicks
