Book Launch: String Figures. A Cultural Practice between Art, Anthropology, and Theory 

Edited by Mario Schulze and Sarine Waltenspül, Diaphanes 2025

Speakers: Seraina Dür and Jonas Gillmann, Ute Holl, Robyn McKenzie, and Nasser Mufti  

String figures have been studied as an aesthetic practice, collected as artifacts, and considered as a non-Western way of thinking. Looking at ways of playing together on the ruins of our history, the book brings together these different threads and weaves connections between world regions and disciplines in order to re:search, re:define and re:signify the past and present of a beautiful and complex cultural practice. 

With contributions by Paul Basu, Seraina Dür and Jonas Gillmann, Mareile Flitsch, Rainer Hatoum, Ines Kleesattel, Robyn McKenzie, Nasser Mufti, Rani Singh, Henry Adam Svec, Éric Vandendriessche among others
