Ciarán Finlayson + Salma Shamel

Salma Shamel and Ciarán Finlayson quote Marx or Adorno without qualm or academic pretense, drawing on intellectual legacies to incise a present in desperate need of reanimation. Their writing, manifestos and essays alike,cuts through cultural noise with keen analysis and radical assertion. For them, the essay is not only a tool of critique but a space—expansive, deep, generous—where narrative and critique are never at odds and can emerge in new, singular forms.
