Hamsa Flag & A Flag of No Nation Discount Bundle

Ayin Press co-founder Tom Haviv’s poetry collection A Flag of No Nation grew out of, and in conjunction with, the Hamsa Flag Project. Both serve as invitations to reconsider the past, reckon with the mythologies of nationalism, and imagine new futures of solidarity and possibility. 

A meditation on world invention and collapse, A Flag of No Nation traces the stories of Turkish Jews in the twentieth century, blind colonists in a white ocean, and performers enacting new rituals around a nationless flag. Through forms of storytelling that range from allegory to oral history, Tom Haviv investigates the history of Israel|Palestine and the mythologies of nationalism. A warning against imperfect dreams, and an invitation to imagine something new, A Flag of No Nation reminds us how the act of remembrance can help us re-envision the future. 

Founded by Tom Haviv in 2014, the Hamsa Flag Project was born out of a belief that in order for a shared society to emerge in Israel | Palestine, we need a shared symbol. The project explores new symbols of peace, reconciliation, and justice — reflecting the shared history of Jews, Muslims, and Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa. These flags are not tied to any nation, but rather are symbols of hybridity and possibility, aiming to inspire a world beyond war.
