Co-published by Page Not Found © 2025
Rather than a fixed retrospective, the monograph pubication splashdown tender by Dutch visual artist afra eisma (b. 1993, NL) unfolds like an exhibition itself: a constellation of works, notes, sketches, and contributions from friends, writers, and fellow artists. Readers are invited to wander through its pages without a prescribed route, encountering tenderness as a form of knowledge and a mode of assembly.
With contributions by Sara Ahmed, Delphine Bedel, Adrian Bridget, Ama Josephine Budge Johnstone, Diana Campbell, Jordan Karney Chaim, Clem Edwards, Raphael Fonseca, Jori(k) A. Galama, Chihiro Geuzebroek, Daisy Lafarge, adrienne maree brown, Martina Milla, Jo-Lene Ong, Jay Tan, Meenakshi Thirukode, Danielle Vorthuys, and Romy Day Winkel. Edited by Dagmar Bosma.
The book will be released on the opening night of eisma's solo exhibition soft conversations with Page Not Found, on September 24, 2025, at 7 PM. You can use this page to pre-order your copy with NMAG.
