Resembling a collection of short stories, the book dwells on timely topics including sovereignty, migration, delay, speech and silence, perseverance, and the relevance of narrative in the face of contemporary adversities. Teeth here become placeholders for ideas, reflections, historical critique, and the power of the imagination. A series of newly commissioned texts from Magalí Arriola, Justin Beal, Hana Halilaj, and Ana Janevski are complemented by a selection of reprints from Migjeni, Vjosa Musliu, and Damir Pilić that add regional nuance and joy. José Esparza Chong Cuy's curatorial overview meanders through the book, summarizing the themes explored in Milazimi's work and briefly introducing each new text, while a reprint from Valeria Luiselli's \u003ci\u003eThe History of My Teeth\u003c\/i\u003e links dental anecdote with literature, power, and the economy. A fragment from Hans Ulrich Obrist's visit to Milazimi's studio brings in reflections about home and movement. Finally, segments of Milazimi's large-scale landscape painting punctuate the publication before culminating in a full panorama. Brilant Milazimi received the 2020 Artist of Tomorrow Award in Kosovo, and was a resident at the Cité internationale des arts, Paris in 2024.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMagalí Arriola, Justin Beal, José Esparza Chong Cuy, Hana Halilaj, Ana Janevski, Valeria Luiselli, Migjeni, Brilant Milazimi, Vjosa Musliu, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Damir Pilić\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCopublished by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Kosovo.","brand":"Sternberg Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48585099378943,"sku":"9781911745006","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781911745006_s600x595.jpg?v=1781542148","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781911745006","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
