Founded by Curandi Katz in 2011, The Pacifist Library is a nomadic library and framework for interventions that fosters the exchange of radical ideas in public spaces, art institutions, and libraries. It has appeared at venues such as Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, CCA Glasgow, Flux Factory New York, the Sarajevo International Festival, and the NY Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1, among others.

This bibliography, compiled and edited by Ian Clewe, highlights The Pacifist Library’s collection of books and fanzines on nonviolent social change.

Leon Filter’s artist book MUMMYTHEDADDY is a collection of personal anecdotes, and written images that explore paternal relationships, inherited memories and experiences with familiar roles. Through stories of military service, dementia, and monsters, the author reflects on the complexities of family histories. By examining how we remember and forget, MUMMYTHEDADDY emphasizes the contributions of narratives in shaping our understanding of how intergenerational dynamics form, and proposes to reshape roles within dependency relationships. With afterwords by Valentina Curandi.
