ABOUT
SIRR takes its name from the Arabic sirr (سِرّ)
Knowledge that is carried through stories, memory, and relation, forms of knowing that are often not visible but still central to our living and to how we remember and continue.
The term gathers other meanings around it:
سر المهنة / the craft’s secret
سر البقاء / the secret of survival
سر الحكاية / the secret of the story
سر الذاكرة / the secret of memory
سرّ البير / the secret of the well
These are orientations, not definitions.
SIRR works across writing, political analysis, archival practice, and collaborative processes.
SIRR is held by Haneen Maikey and Lynn Darwich.
SIRR is registered in the Netherlands.
