Abstract
This poster presentation proposes a printed wallpaper—composed of twenty A3 pages—featuring the newly produced Inflight Magazine #7 from the transversal, collaborative artistic research project Women on Aeroplanes. This issue explores the art of organising, focusing in particular on the extensive global network of the Women’s Democratic International Federation (WDIF), founded in 1945, and forms part of the wider artistic research project "Marginal Notes". Its concept engages with the productive tensions of margins and marginalia, inverting established hierarchies of attention. Handwritten notes in the margins of a page trace gestures of reading, association, disagreement, or sudden alignment. In this spirit, Inflight Magazine #7 becomes a review-like montage of images and literature, drawing on extensive research carried out by many others. Our contribution takes shape through reading-as-annotation, assembling quoted excerpts and re-situating them in new constellations. In acknowledging the labour of love and revolutionary endeavours of those involved in these historical struggles, the project seeks to amplify and resurface their subsisting relations. By recomposing these materials, we aim to activate them as resources for our present futures. We are not fixed in time—let's re‑organise.

Her work engages radical forms of filmmaking, experimental editorial practices, and unruly artistic methods. Her practice is shaped by a commitment to collaborative and materially grounded forms of knowledge-making—approaches she continues to develop through research on editing as a method, montage as a way of thinking, and the relational entanglements between artistic, curatorial and political imaginaries. Inflight Magazine #7 has been developed together with Anjalika Sagar, co-founder of the Otolith Group and Marie-Hélène Gutberlet, designed by very.
