Dogs in Paradise

Two new Hi Jack! Publications
Dogs in Paradise #1 and #2. 

They consist of 
_ material found and made in Curacao in the winter of 2026
_ a text by researcher and filmmaker/activist Aron Nor on what a Dog Paradise could be or ought to be
_ drawings and ideas from the students of IBB Curacao and 
_ hijacked material from
Straying With Street Dogs (By Eva Meijer and Aron Nor)
Zoopolis and Animals and the Right to Politics (both by Donaldson and Kymlicka). 

Dogs in Paradise focuses on the dogs and dog spirits of Curacao and the Antilles, who has the right to roam the streets, the (magical) powers of dogs and their ideas on life, and their (future) relationships with humans. 

We would like to thank Carf, Feed Friends, and Stefan for their tireless dedication. The proceeds from this publication will go to them. For sale through Hi, Jack Publishing webshop
