Brief Histories by Isak Berbic and Fawz Kabra is an art gallery and publishing initiative based in New York City. The project developes exhibitions in close collaboration with artists, explores the entanglements of contemporary art, and approaches exhibitions as both artifacts and discursive formats, shaped by research, process, and exchange. Its imprint, Brief Histories Press produces artist books, critical writing, and print-based research, and considers publishing as a space for distributing ideas, building languages, and structuring contexts.
