Library
Since its inception, one of the core aims of Museum of Impossible Forms has been to house a multi-lingual library, consisting of books, zines, pamphlets and music, films and other material that is not usually available in public libraries, with specific leanings toward works on decoloniality, anti-racism. intersectionality, feminism and queer theory.

To access our Library of books, films, music and to know about specific collections of the M{if} Library, write to us or visit Museum of Impossible Forms on Open Library Thursdays, from 11:00 - 17:00 every Thursday.
As part of further sharing books and increasing a collective knowledge base, we have initiated a Museum of Impossible Forms Reading Circle, through a collective sharing of PDFs, and ebooks through a Google Drive. To access and contribute, share here.
The rise of fascist, communist and totalitarian movements and the development of the two totalitarian regimes, Stalin's after 1929 and Hitler's after 1938, took place against a background of a more or less general, more or less dramatic breakdown of all traditional authorities. Nowhere was this breakdown the direct result of the regimes or movements themselves, but it seemed as though totalitarianism, in the form of regimes as well as of movements, was best fitted to take advantage of a general political and social atmosphere in which the validity of authority itself was radically doubted.
