Trap of lights
Orne Cabrita wonders what would happen if illegibility were to be chosen as a place of enunciation. Khosravi says that one must aspire to show rather than explain. Orne Cabrita proposes an imperfect archive that is nourished by subjective artifacts, that does not come to speak of but to speak with, an unstable archive that rescues essays, poems, WhatsApp conversations, emails, memes, etc. Clues to intersubjectivity as a migratory practice. The possibility that this accumulation of street and saltpeter becomes speculative portals capable of insinuating other worlds. Playing with orality as a technology of contagion and opacity as an irreducible commitment to the cadence of a trans-Caribbean experience.
