Mantiq of the Mantis

Mantiq of the Mantis MotM is a retreat for dreamers, thinkers, writers, poets, artists, and book lovers – an experiment MotM thrives in the company of the woody smell of old books.

MotM is a retreat for dreamers, thinkers, writers, poets, artists, and book lovers – an experiment for realizing weird fiction, obscure art and elusive impressions of the strange and insatiably curious. In an attempt to re-imagine the experience of reading, feeling, touching and smelling books MotM want to preserve the art of unique, hand-crafted book making where the form depends solely on expres

sing the author's original content. MotM does not want to bind itself to any existing or pre-conceived notions of print/publishing but instead believes in the art of book making dealing freely with different methods, formats, languages, content and modes of expression that defy expectations attached to the experience of reading books. Here we shake hands, hearts and souls with fellow lovers of books; tearing tired perceptions and experiencing the commonplace as new once again. It is the premise of this reciprocal exchange of values and sentiments that forms the ethos of MotM. MotM would be glad to have your opinions. Please send your
comments to [email protected]

Mantiq of the Mantis welcomes support in the form of donations, financial, and books for The Strange Library and extending support for its integrated arts research initiative under Mantiq Under The Willow Tree. MotM is the brainchild of Sabeen Jamil and Mehreen Murtaza.

Hoping for peace and freedom for all ✌🏽The cycle of oppression will end with the demise of imperialism. The real work begins now: to remain steadfast and committed to a worldwide BDS movement so that we and the coming generations may never have to experience such horror - ever. We pray for peace and harmony with the inner and outer cosmos 🇵🇸🕊️✌🏽 Long live Palestine!
