Annotation

No Protest without Fantasy is the second in a small series of publications by Emotional Architecture, a project by Nida Ghouse and Malak Helmy initiated in Cairo in 2012. ‘No Fantasy without Protest’ is the title of chapter four in The Haunting of Sylvia Plath by Jacqueline Rose. ‘Each of us plays a part in this tale of terror and desire. Yet rarely do we lay bare the emotions driving our most political actions. The truth is, no one is an observer on the sidelines’ – excerpt from ‘Fear the Everyday State’, Philip Rizk.
