Blue-Black Liver

Blue-Black Liver is a mock newspaper combining poetry, prose, and early 20th-century photographs of the Jordan River from the American Colony Photo Department and the Palestine Museum Digital Archives. Its shifting type scales and fractured columns mirror the disrupted flows of water, memory, and land. Through experimental texts and visual montage, the publication exposes the limits of the newspaper form and surfaces submerged histories of colonial and ecological violence. From settler- greenwashed forests to droughts, deluges, and gas-lit wounds, each spread fuses bodily experience with political testimonyreclaiming landscapes and languages shaped by dispossession, resistance, and repair.
