As part of Valiz's Antennae series, \u003ci\u003eIn the Absence of Bombs\u003c\/i\u003e investigates this silence. In a time when horror is livestreamed and apathy is institutionalized, contributors ask how such emotional paralysis is possible; how art can amplify the horrors of war; and how creative professionals can combat systemic neglect. It especially centers on the ongoing military invasions of Palestine and Ukraine, featuring contributions by poets such as Mahmoud Darwish and artists such as Gamlet Zinkivskyi. Through testimonies from areas of conflict past and present, this book composes a polyphonic response to a world that demands clarity but offers none. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Valiz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789493246591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320","brand":"Pascal Gielen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52679559381173,"sku":"9789493246591","price":24.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-the-absence-of-bombs-art-war-and-silence-9789493246591","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
