Well Gedacht Publishing

Well Gedacht Publishing Communism Reader includes contributions dealing with different forms of revolutionary struggle from Alpas Pilipinas, Sanabel Abdelrahman, Hasan Özgür Top, Akiko Ono, Ipek Burçak and interviews with Emrah Cilasun and C., and is designed by Fadi Houmani. The risograph-printed zine looks at the history of communist initiatives in the Global South—movements and figures from the past and present through an anti-colonial lens.

Eine Alman Stadt is a collection of photos of a mid-size German city, its houses and Vorgärten, greens in between the houses, social spaces, eternal states, flowers at Halit Yozgat memorial and includes a bush-shaped text on the backside of the book. Eine Alman Stadt makes connections between small city timelessness revealing an assumed universality and neutrality, how a city is a sum of privately owned small islands, sometimes with literal flags on top, and gardens and far right ideologies.



The book is printed in RISO in multiple colors, the photos are taken with film cameras between 2012-2017 during Burçak's studies in Kassel.

Trafohaus in Kassel, a publishing platform housed in an old electrical substation, showcased the book 'Eine Alman Stadt' by Ipek Burçak alongside two billboards carrying photographs from the book in the front view; an Einfamilienhaus (typical German single-family house) with its front garden, and in the side view, Halitplatz with the memorial of Halit Yozgat—about 1 km far from the location of Trafohaus—who was murdered by the neo-Nazi group NSU in 2007.
