Melon is a publishing project initiated by Jhen Chen and Yen-Ting Kuan. It focuses on contemporary art and its relationships with politics, food and ecology. Melon also seeks to explore the possibilities of graphic design, print and self-publishing. The first issue, the tiny booklet Foraging in Palestine, Japan & Maastricht looks at foraging as more than a means of survival—it’s a quiet, everyday act of resistance. From occupied Palestine to rural Japan and urban Maastricht, foraging reveals how access to land, freedom of movement, and alternative ways of living are deeply entangled. In contested or urbanized landscapes, it becomes a way to reclaim connection—with nature, place, and one another.
