The summer 2022 issue of Mizna celebrates the life and legacy of Etel Adnan.

This issue features Adnan’s colorful paintings and tapestries. Omar Berrada, one of Adnan’s frequent collaborators, contributes a translated essay, “I followed lines I never saw,” originally written for the catalog of the exhibition Ecrire, c’est dessiner, which opened at Centre Pompidou-Metz in October 2021 and was inspired by Adnan’s idea that “writing is drawing.” Curator Marie-Nour Héchaime will interview Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige about the making of the film ISMYRNA and their creative relationship with Adnan. Additionally, writers and artists who have been impacted by Adnan’s life and work contribute works for an accompanying digital feature on Mizna’s website.
