Public Parking Publication is delighted to announce the participants involved in our editorial residency for 2025. For this program, we aim to work with thinkers who are adjacent to or outside the realm of the arts as part of Public Parking’s ongoing efforts to broaden the scope of ideas we feature and the communities we reach. This project invites guest editors to be residents with the publication over an extended 12-month period. Throughout this time they will work with our team to publish a series of either self-written or programmed texts. Previously we've hosted eunice bélidor, Tammer El-Sheikh, and Amy Fung. This year, we are very happy to welcome Nasrin Himada and Shiv Kotecha.

Nasrin Himada is a Palestinian curator and writer. Their practice is heavily influenced by their long term friendships and by their many on-going collaborations with artists, filmmakers and poets. Nasrin’s ongoing project, For Many Returns, experiments with writing as an act dictated by love, and typifies their current curatorial interests, which foreground desire as transformation, and liberation through many forms. Nasrin currently holds the position of Associate Curator at Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Queen’s University in Kingston (ON).

Shiv Kotecha is a writer and editor living in New York. He is the author of The Switch (Wonder, 2018), and EXTRIGUE (Make Now, 2015). His criticism appears in publications including 4Columns, Aperture, BOMB, CULTURED, frieze, The Nation, MUBI’s Notebook, and The Poetry Project Newsletter. For the Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant, he co-edits Cookie Jar, a pamphlet series of experimental arts writing. He is Co-Chair of the Writing Discipline for Bard MFA-Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts.
