‘You can only speak nearby, in proximity, which requires that you deliberately suspend meaning, preventing it from merely closing and hence, leaving a gap for formation processes.’ – Trinh T. Minh-ha
‘it’s a mutant space’ brings together thinkers, artists, and writers who look at exactly these unsettled, fiercely boundless and untamed spaces in-between formations of meaning. What does it take to inhabit continuing mutations, malformations, physical and mental dislocations? What can mutations be used for – as a means for slinking through darkness and light, whispering and yelling, sweating and shivering, as strategies to escape normativity? How can fictions, auto- and anti-ethnographies, oral histories, and distorted documentation, operate as sites of resistance, and preludes for reaching currents that have not yet been mapped?
Through the practices of the contributors, we will think across itinerant trajectories, vexed times, embodied knowledge, scars, and raptures. Lingering on untamed archives and moving images, timidly spoken words, and rearranged historical narratives, these filmic, textual, and sound acts aim at becoming a prelude and a parable for surviving reality in the making. |
