proof of life ✹ belated birthday post

my birthday intention this year was to bring @scorpionicsun into the world - an online space I’m building to share my personal collection of books and print ephemera, circulating scans and PDFs.

it’s named after my favorite book of poems by Moroccan Amazigh poet Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine, and it also arrives exactly sixty years after the first issue of Souffles was published in Rabat in 1966, a journal made for revolutionary thinkers of the global majority, principally as “a manifesto for a new aesthetics in the Maghreb,” formed by a small group of self-professed linguistic guerrillas, of which he was a part.

this lineage, and the afterlives of this writing, have been a compass to me over the years, and continue to offer an orientation I trust.

the hope is for this to grow into a research library and archive in the future, and to exist as an accompaniment in conversation w my film programming and producing work.

grateful to anyone who takes a look ♥️ and feel free to reach out if you’d like any scans as I start building this out

more to come ✹ by @moun.sous

Mohamed Bourouissa's Clermont-Ferrand Grand Prix-winning Généalogie de la Violence will be presented with an introduction from Moun Soussan next Friday February 27.

Généalogie de la Violence
Mohamed Bourouissa
2024, 14m

"Imagine a film about police brutality, with no brutality. A film where nothing happens, yet you’re left baffled. Invisible violence, disguised under lawful humiliation. Domination wrapped in polite protocols. I started talking about making this short film back in 2018, but the idea of it was haunting me probably since the late 90s, when I started being constantly stopped by the police for “random identity checks. I felt a certain urgency to tell this very personal story."

-Mohamed Bourouissa

February 27, 2026. 7pm, 7:45pm & 8:15pm

Tickets available at now-instant.la

Special thanks to Moun Soussan, Laure Salgon, & Mohamed Bourouissa

UPDATE: goal reached/ please continue donating to mutual aid funds in Gaza- will have new fundraisers in links in bio everyday /// please donate to my loved one’s fund for their surviving family members crossing into Egypt - link in bio / if you’re unable to spare funds please share and pray for them and all our Palestinians brothers and sisters 🔗 from @saafrita : “things are getting worse in Palestine. we've lost our family home that our dad grew up in and countless family members, i couldn't even tell you how many. our sisters and their children are slowly dying. they have no medicine for their chronic illnesses, no food, no water, no access to showers or housing. our sister told us they were staying in Khan Younis but as things have gotten worse, they've once again been displaced and are now moving towards the Rafah border. and since nothing in this world is easy, or just, you have to pay to cross the border. so now the only thing we can do is hope they make it there safely and when they do, we hope to have enough money to help them cross” by @moun.sous
