El adverbio contra" que introduce este libro ha de leerse no solamente desde su acepción más común, la del enfrentamiento y la ofensiva, sino también desde la que designa la solidez del soporte. Me he situado "contra" el arte y otros conceptos institucionales como quien se apoya "contra" un muro que, al par que nos ampara, nos coarta. Muros, los de la metafisica, la ciencia, la moral, la politica, la religion, las formas consensuadas de emocionarnos social y esteticamente, la filosofia o la teoria de las artes, que hemos levantado para sostenernos, defendernos o protegernos pero que, cuando cobran solidez, nos impiden ver al otro lado, traspasar el ambito conocido y aprender otras maneras de caminar, de estar y de relacionarnos con las cosas y, lo que es peor, nos hacen olvidar que alguna vez los hemos construido".

Conflict does more than destroy physical spaces it extinguishes lives, erases histories and disrupts the collective memory of entire communities. In Gaza, where genocide has brought unimaginable suffering, the destruction of cultural heritage adds another dimension of loss.
