South Sudan’s Democratic Mirage | Joshua Craze

Over the last two years, I’ve been working with Aziz Hazara on an essay for Triple Canopy about ‘Coming Home,’ his extraordinary art project, which has been transforming the trash the Americans left behind at Bagram, Afghanistan. ‘Junk Empire’ is now out! canopycanopycanopy.com/contents/jun...

Trump froze U.S. foreign aid and dismantled USAID. We examine the agency’s impact and hear from people trying to navigate this chaotic moment.

With the inestimable @joe_falzetta, I just published a new investigation in @newhumanitarian, looking at Fogbow, a US company that has been involved in humanitarian operations in #Gaza, #Sudan, and #SouthSudan. We had a look at how they are getting on: www.thenewhumanitarian.org/investigatio...

Fogbow operations in South Sudan and beyond raise red flags for faltering aid system
The for-profit US firm is coordinating air drops that critics say transgress humanitarian principles.

Some on the left might argue that Trump’s immigration regime differs from his predecessors in matters of style but not substance. @joshuacraze.bsky.social isn’t fully convinced. Trump’s escalations go far beyond rhetoric.

Territorial Pissing | Joshua Craze
Trump’s decision to revoke South Sudanese visas is only one small part of a much larger destruction of the U.S. immigration regime currently underway.

Last January, the German image-maker Wolf Böwig asked me if he could send me four images, to accompany an upcoming trip. There was no brief. Just a voyage and four images, which I kept like icons. A year later, my reflection on these four images is out: mouse-magazine.com/issue-6/in-o...

I have an essay out in @haujournal on witchcraft, anthropology, and the state. It's about what you can say with witches, and the violence of the silences that surround them. It contains some sentences I am very proud to have written: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10....
